Subclaims¶

q3 i? Post-test achievement of students studying projectile motion with the Mathematica program is significantly higher than that of students using the projectile motion experiment set, at the 0.01 level. → Hutem and Kerdmee 2013

Evidence¶

Hutem and Kerdmee 2013¶

Artit Hutem, Supoj Kerdmee. (2013). Physics Learning Achievement Study: Projectile, using Mathematica program of Faculty of Science and Technology Phetchabun Rajabhat University Students. European J of Physics Education, Vol.4 Issue 3. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1052425

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experiment with 50 students per group, randomly divided, taking a 30-item achievement test as a 60-minute post-test. The Mathematica group mean was 24.38 (SD 1.772) versus 20.82 (SD 1.289); the article reports the difference "significantly higher at level of 0.01" with t-test 12.04 in Table 2.

"Finding the average of physics achievement, projectile motion by using Mathematica program is 24.38 and the average of controlled group studying projectile motion by using projectile motion experiment set is 20.82"
