Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Knowledge scores rose significantly from pre-test to post-test (F(1,55) = 60.23, p = 0.00, d = 1.10), with no main effect of condition or gender and no interaction effect. → Hans van der Meij 2015

Hans van der Meij 2015¶

Hans van der Meij, Jan van der Meij, Ruth Harmsen. (2015). Animated pedagogical agents effects on enhancing student motivation and learning in a science inquiry learning environment. Education Tech Research Dev. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11423-015-9378-5

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Pre-test/post-test with 27 multiple-choice items in the 61-student experiment; the article reports a significant time effect at d = 1.10 and no condition, gender, or interaction effects. Table 4 prints gains for all conditions (e.g., control boys 5.10, agent girls 3.55).

"An ANOVA with condition and gender as fixed factors and the test scores as dependent variable showed a significant effect over time, F(1,55) = 60.23, p = 0.00, d = 1.10. There was no main effect of condition or gender, and there was also no interaction effect. In all conditions, boys and girls made significant progress."
