Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Mean performance on MuTAT did not differ significantly from mean performance on the paper-and-pencil test, indicating the tool did not impede accuracy. → Adesina 2014
Evidence¶
Adesina 2014¶
Adesina, A., Stone, R., Batmaz, F., & Jones, I. (2014). Touch Arithmetic: A process‐based Computer‐Aided Assessment approach for capture of problem solving steps in the context of elementary mathematics. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2014.06.015
q2 · i? · design · r2
Observational within-participant study in which 39 Year 5 children solved word problems on MuTAT and similar symbolic problems on paper. Means were "comparable" (MuTAT M = 3.61, SD = 0.59; Paper M = 3.72, SD = 0.51); a paired t test found no significant difference (t(38) = 0.94, p = 0.35).
"This figure showed that the mean performances on the MuTAT software and paper are comparable (MuTAT‐> M = 3.61, SD=0.59; Paper ‐>M = 3.72, SD = 0.51)."
