Evidence¶

López-Faican 2020¶

López-Faican, L.; Jaén Martínez, FJ. (2020). EmoFindAR: Evaluation of a mobile multiplayer augmented reality game for primary school children. Computers & Education. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2020.103814

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Likert questionnaire applied after each game mode to 38 children using USE and PIFF constructs with Fun Toolkit answer scales. Wilcoxon tests on C1Q1, C1Q3, C1Q4 and C1Q5 gave p-values of 1.000, 0.356, 1.000 and 0.102, so H0a was not rejected; no child rated enjoyment at the minimum scales.

"In C1Q1 the fun level was assessed, where the children rated their enjoyment very positively (quite/much) for both the competitive (97%) and collaborative (100%) mode."

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Wilcoxon test on questionnaire item C1Q2 (ease of use) in the same questionnaire study; 82% (competitive) and 71% (collaborative) found the game easy or super easy, with only one child rating the collaborative version difficult, and H0b was not rejected. Equivalence between modes was not directly tested; the result is failure to reject the null.

"The p -values, shown in Table 5, prevent us from rejecting the null hypotheses, H0a and H0b, i.e. there are no differences between the modes in all the evaluated questions."
