q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experiment in three Standard 5 classes from two schools (40 test pupils), with matched-ability groups taught the Solar System via IWB/ER or traditionally, pre- and post-tested. The article reports means of "6.6 as compared to 6.3" correct and "3.9 ... 4.2" wrong, with no significant T-test difference.

"The mean performance of students who answered correctly using the IWB was 6.6 as compared to 6.3 for those who did not use the IWB. As those who answered the questions wrong, the means performance was 3.9 for those who used IWB as compared to 4.2 to those who did not use the IWB. The T- test revealed that there are no significant differences between the two marks obtained by the students."
