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? The experimental group's post-test reading mean (2.44) exceeded the control group's (1.84), with a significant group effect (F = 46.54, p < .05). → Ayed H. Ziadat & Mohammad Soud A. AL-Awan 2018
Evidence¶
Ayed H. Ziadat & Mohammad Soud A. AL-Awan 2018¶
Ayed H. Ziadat & Mohammad Soud A. AL-Awan. (2018). The Effectiveness of Neurological Impress Method on Reading Fluency of Students with Learning Disabilities in Amman, Jordan. International Education Studies, 11(1). https://doi.org/10.5539/ies.v11n1p165
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Quasi-experiment in four public primary schools in Amman with forty fourth-grade students with learning disabilities (ages 10–12): one NIM group and one no-treatment control group of twenty students each (ten boys and ten girls), N = 40. The methodology section also mentions "two experimental groups", but the sample tables and analyses compare a single experimental group with the control group. NIM sessions ran about sixteen weeks, five days a week for 45 minutes. Two Way ANCOVA on pre/post reading scores showed the variance was "in favor of the post measurement for the experimental group". No effect size is printed.
"Table 3 shows that (F) value for group was (46.54), and it's significant at level of (0.05), this explains that there were statistically significant differences among the different students groups (controlled and experimental in the post measurement)"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Reading Fluency — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Control-group students who received no intervention showed no improvements in reading fluency — related
- In a Neurological Impress Method study, boys with learning disabilities outscored girls on post-test reading fluency in both the NIM and control groups, and the study did not show that NIM's effect differed by gender — related
- The group-by-gender interaction on reading fluency was not statistically significant — related
