Subclaims¶

q3 i? Experimental male students scored significantly higher than conventional male students (46.68 vs 34.59). → Hossain 2012

Evidence¶

Hossain 2012¶

Hossain, M.A., & Tarmizi, R.A. (2012). Gender-related effects of group learning on mathematics achievement among the rural secondary students. Egitim Arastirmalari-Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 47, 1-22. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1057355

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Independent-sample t-test comparing male students across conditions (40 experimental, 43 control) after the 15-week treatment; pre-test means were equivalent (25.31 vs 24.36, not significant). The article reports the post-test difference favored "the male students in experimental group."

"the experimental male students scored post -test mean of 46.68 (SD = 2.79) which is higher than the conventional male students with post -test mean score of 34.59 (SD = 2.24). The difference between these two post -test means was significant t [(74.82) = 21.63, p < 0.05] in favor of the male students in experimental group"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — moderator: an instructional effect differs by group
