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 pre-test to post-test gain was statistically significant for Course 553 (t = 33.46, df = 25, p < 0.001). → Farooq et al. 2012 q2 i? The experimental group's pre-test to post-test gain was statistically significant for Course 554 (t = 26.80, df = 25, p < 0.001). → Farooq et al. 2012 (2)

Evidence¶

Farooq et al. 2012¶

Muhammad U. Farooq, AbdulRahman Al Asmari & Choudhary Z. Javid. (2012). A Study of Online English Language Teacher Education Programmes in Distance Education Context in Pakistan. English Language Teaching, 5(11). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v5n11p91

q2 · i? · causal · r1

A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study of 26 MA TEFL students taught through the CMC-ELT blended model. The paired-samples t-test for Course 553 showed "the t-value of comparison wa s 33.46", exceeding the table value of 3.725, which the authors interpret as online instruction being effective.

"It was observed that the t-value of comparison wa s 33.46 at the probability level of 0.001 and the degree of freedom was 25. And this t-value was greater than the table value which was 3.725. It shows the difference between the marks of pre-test and post-tes t was significant which means online instruction was effective."

Farooq et al. 2012 (2)¶

q2 · i? · causal · r1

The same quasi-experimental study's Course 554 paired-samples t-test for the 26-student experimental group showed "the t-value of comparison was 26.80", exceeding the table value of 3.725, which the authors interpret as online instruction being effective.

"It was observed that the t-value of comparison was 26.80 at the probability level of 0.001 and the degree of freedom was 25. And this t-value was greater than the table value which was 3.725. It shows the difference between the marks of pre-test and post-tes t was significant which means online instruction was effective."

Discussion¶

Experimental group outperformed control group on post-tests in both courses — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
Both experimental and control groups improved significantly from pretest to posttest over the four-month period — related
Blended Blackboard CMC instruction using discussion boards, blogs and wikis significantly improves integrated reading/writing performance in EFL college students — related
