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? Pearson correlation between ICT literacy and mean post-test van Hiele level was r(14) = -0.01, p = .97, so the null hypothesis could not be rejected. → Poh Geik Tieng & Leong Kwan Eu 2013

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Pearson correlation test on questionnaire data from the experimental group only (N = 16 in Table 7), using a 4-point Likert scale ICT literacy questionnaire of five items. The article notes "there is a limitation with the results given the small sample size."
"Results (as shown in Table 7) showed that there was no significant correlation between the ICT literacy of the students and their van Hiele level of geometric thinking in the posttests, r (14) = -0.01, p =.97"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Geometric Reasoning — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Year Three students taught angles with Geometer's Sketchpad improved significantly in van Hiele level of geometric thinking from pretest to posttest on all three angle concepts — related
- Traditional chalk-and-talk instruction also produced significant pre-to-post gains in van Hiele level of geometric thinking on all three angle concepts — related
- The two groups were equivalent in van Hiele level at pretest except for obtuse angles, where the control group scored significantly higher before instruction — related
- Within the experimental group, van Hiele levels differed significantly across the three posttests, increasing from right to acute to obtuse angle tests — related
