Subclaims¶

q2 i3 Experimental group students who played OrCheTaboo scored significantly higher on FGTT posttests than control students (Cohen's d = 1.30; η² = .29). → Akkuzu 2016

q2 · i3 · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study with 62 university students (control N=30, experimental N=32) in an Organic Chemistry Laboratory course. Posttest means were 334.83 (experimental) vs 232.78 (control). The article prints the effect sizes for this difference: "The effect size coefficient (Cohen's d) between the FGTTs scores of both groups was calculated as 1.30" and "the eta squared (η 2) value was calculated as .29".

"According to the t-test results, Table 5 shows that there have been a significant difference determined between the mean scores the experimental and control groups got from FGTTs (t= -5.03, p(.00)<.05)."

Related Claims¶

• Experimental group outperformed control group on the term test of every one of the five experiments, each difference statistically significant — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• 91% of experimental group students said OrCheTaboo helped them learn functional-group concepts — related
• 53% of experimental students considered themselves sufficient at describing terms, most often citing ability of expressing — related
