Subclaims¶

q2 i2 Fourth-year prospective teachers of English showed a statistically significant pre-post gain on the overall speaking skills test after an MI-based program (t = 14.705, p ≤ .001, effect size 0.753). → Salem 2013

Salem 2013¶

Salem, A. A. M. S. (2013). The Impact of Multiple Intelligences-Based Instruction on Developing Speaking Skills of the Pre-Service Teachers of English. English Language Teaching, 6(9), 53-66. https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v6n9p53

q2 · i2 · causal · r1

One-group pretest-posttest quasi-experiment with 60 fourth-year prospective teachers of English at Hurgada Faculty of Education. Pretest M = 20.72 (SD = 7.921), posttest M = 34.18 (SD = 2.514), t = 14.705, p ≤ .001, effect size 0.753, indicating "a statistically significant difference between mean scores of the subjects' pre-posttest scores on the speaking skills test."

"It is clear from the data represented in table 4 that there is a statistically significant difference between mean scores of the subjects' pre-posttest scores on the speaking skills test. This difference is in favor of the post testing."
