q2 · i? · causal · r1

Independent t-tests comparing male and female activity and tablet usability ratings in the quasi-experimental study "showed no significant gender difference in all categories".

"An independent t-test of the ratings categorised by gender showed no significant gender difference in all categories."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Within the experimental group, gain-score t-tests showed "no significant difference in the gain scores", t(22) = -1.567, d = -0.64, though a medium descriptive effect favoured female students; equivalence was not tested.

"There was no significant difference in the gain scores, t(22) = -1.567, d = -0.64 but there was a medium effect size in favour of female students."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

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