Subclaims¶

q2 i3 The low-ability training group improved significantly from pre- to post-test (V = 0, p = .002, printed effect size |r| = .85). → Meloni et al. 2017 q2 i3 The low-ability control group also improved significantly from pre- to post-test (V = 1, p = .005, printed effect size |r| = .76). → Meloni et al. 2017 (2)

Evidence¶

Meloni et al. 2017¶

Carla Meloni, Rachele Fanari, Andrea Bertucci and Sara Berretti. (2017). IMPACT OF EARLY NUMERACY TRAINING ON KINDERGARTENERS FROM MIDDLE-INCOME FAMILIES. 14th International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2017). https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/978-989-8533-68-5

q2 · i3 · causal · r1

Wilcoxon paired test on the low-ability training group (n=14, combining cooperative and individual training participants) in the 25-child subsample. The article reports significant differences with printed effect size |r| = .85 ("V = 0, p = .002, |r| = .85").

"A first Wilcoxon test for paired sample was used to compare the performance in early numeracy competence (BIN 4-6 z-score) in pre- and post-test in the training group and results showed significant differences (V = 0, p = .002, |r| = .85)."

Meloni et al. 2017 (2)¶

q2 · i3 · causal · r1

Wilcoxon paired test on the low-ability control group (n=11) in the 25-child subsample, who received only standard schooling plus drawing activities. The article reports a significant difference with printed effect size |r| = .76 ("V = 1, p = .005, |r| = .76").

"A second Wilcoxon test for paired sample was used to compare the performance in early numeracy competence (BIN 4-6 z-score) in the pre- and post-test in the control group, and results showed a significant difference (V = 1, p = .005, |r| = .76)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Number Sense — outcome: instruction changes it

Related Claims¶

• All three groups (cooperative learning, individual learning, and control) improved significantly in early numeracy from pre-test to post-test over 12 weeks — a broader claim this one bears on
• Among low-early-math-ability kindergarteners, supplemental training produced significantly higher improvement than an equally low-ability control group — related
