Subclaims¶

q2 i? Male students taught with the demonstration method scored higher (x = 70.30) than female students (x = 62.44), and male students taught with the conventional lecture method also scored higher than female students. → Daluba 2013

Table 2 reports post-test means by gender and method: males 70.30 (demonstration) and 64.37 (lecture); females 62.44 (demonstration) and 58.17 (lecture). The authors note this gender difference in the discussion.

"Male students taught with the demonstration method scored higher (x = 70.30) than female students (x = 62.44) (Table 2)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause

Related Claims¶

• Students taught agricultural science with the demonstration method achieved significantly higher post-test scores than students taught with the conventional lecture method — related
• No significant difference in achievement between male and female students taught basic science with concept mapping — reports the opposite
• The demonstration method produced a larger mean gain in achievement scores than the conventional lecture method — related
