q3 i? A two-way ANOVA found no significant difference between pre-test–post-test CCTDI scores according to teaching method (PBL vs traditional). → Temel 2014

Evidence¶

Temel 2014¶

Senar Temel. (2014). The effects of problem-based learning on pre-service teachers’ critical thinking dispositions and perceptions of problem-solving ability. South African Journal of Education, 34(1), Art. #769. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1136398

q3 · i? · causal · r1

True experimental pre-test–post-test control group study; 49 pre-service teachers randomly assigned to PBL (n = 22) or traditional teaching (n = 27) for the acid-base topic. The two-way ANOVA on CCTDI scores showed "no significant difference" between methods (F = 0.192, p = 0.664); no effect size was printed.

"no significant difference was found between the pre-test and post-test CCTDI scores according to the different teaching methods implemented 1,47 (F = 0.192, p = 0.664)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Critical Thinking — outcome: instruction changes it
