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 i0 The MANOVA comparing students with LD (n = 48) and without LD (n = 257) on the four preference levels was not significant, F(4,300) = 0.16, p = 0.960, ηp2 = 0.00, disproving the hypothesis that students with LD would prefer agency support more. → Oshra Aloni 2024

q2 · i0 · associational · r1
One-way MANOVA with with/without LD as the independent variable (48 students with LD, 257 without, after Levene's tests showed no variance differences) found no significant preference differences, "F(4,300) = 0.16, p = 0.960, ηp2 = 0.00"; the printed effect size ηp2 = 0.00 is negligible, and equivalence was not tested.
"The results of the MANOVA analysis indicated that the science learning preferences levels did not differ significantly by with/without LD, F(4,300) = 0.16, p = 0.960, ηp2 = 0.00 (see Table 3)."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- In hierarchical regression, gender and LD status contributed 6.4% to science achievements, and auditory learning preference contributed a further significant 3.1% beyond them — related
- Girls exhibited significantly higher learning preferences than boys for visual means and agency support, with no significant gender differences for auditory or sensorimotor modalities — related
- Middle school science students preferred all four learning modalities, with significantly higher preference for visual and sensorimotor means than for auditory means and agency support — related
- Science achievements correlated significantly and positively with preferences for visual, auditory, and agency-support means, but not sensorimotor means, with low coefficients — related
