q2 i? The experiment class using open-ended VBA for Excel outperformed the expository control class on creativity of learning-media creation (t-test sig. 0.000 two-tailed, mean difference 6.046). → Rohaeti 2019

Evidence¶

Rohaeti 2019¶

Rohaeti, E.E., Bernard, M., & Primandhika, R.B. (2019). Developing interactive learning media for school level mathematics through open-ended approach aided by Visual Basic application for Excel. Journal on Mathematics Education, 10(1), 59-68. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1204890

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experiment comparing an experiment class (35 students, open-ended VBA for Excel) with a control class (33 students, expository VBA for Excel); media creativity scores were processed with SPSS. After a Levene's test sig. of 0.647, "the creation of experiment class in making learning media is better than control class" (t = 3.941, df = 60, sig. 0.000, mean difference 6.046).

"obtained the value of sig. 0,000 (2 -tail) and (1-tail) are less than 0.05 which means the creation of experiment class in making learning media is better than control class"
