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? t-tests found no significant effect of gender on transfer scores under guided discovery (t = 0.02), demonstration (t = 0.68) or expository (t = 0.15), each below the critical value of 1.98. → Akinbobola 2015
Evidence¶
Akinbobola 2015¶

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Three t-test comparisons of male versus female transfer scores (Tables 5-7) in the same 278-student quasi-experiment; the guided discovery comparison shown here gave t = 0.02 against a critical value of 1.98, and the demonstration and expository comparisons were likewise not significant.
"The analysis in Table 5 shows that the calculated t -value of 0.02 is less than the critical t-value of 1.98 at p<.05. Therefore, the null hypothesis stating a non-signif icant effect of gender (male and female) on student s' transfer of knowledge in physics taught with guided discover y was retained."
