Subclaims¶

q2 i? Total scores on the post-experiment questionnaire did not differ significantly between the experiment group and the lecture-only control group. → Nirupama Devaraj and Jaishankar Raman 2014 q2 i? In the regression controlling for student characteristics, participating in the experiment had a negative impact on total score, significant at the 10% level in Model 2. → Nirupama Devaraj and Jaishankar Raman 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experiment comparing 84 students in three experiment-treatment macro sections with 28 students in a lecture-based micro control section, assessed on six public-goods multiple-choice questions. The article reports "no significant impact on the learning outcomes" in total points, and a negative experiment effect significant at the 10% level in Model 2.

"We find that experiment based learning has no significant impact on the learning outcomes as measured by the total points scored by a student in the post experiment questionnaire."
