Subclaims¶

q2 i? On the retention test administered two weeks after the experiment, mean retention was highest for PF, followed by PM and least for PC, for both urban and rural subjects. → Jacobson Barineka Nbina & Obomanu 2011

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive analysis of Chemistry Retention Test scores (Table 3) for the 428-student quasi-experiment; retention was tested two weeks after the experiment. Table 3 shows urban means of 65.35 (PF), 54.72 (PM) and 48.19 (PC), with similar rural means. The strategy main effect in Table 4 is significant (F = 66.246).

"The data reveal that the mean retention score was highest for the PF strategy, followed by the PM and least with the PC for both urban and rural locating."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it

• School location shows no significant difference in chemistry retention scores — related
• Problem solving strategy type significantly affects chemistry achievement, with a hierarchical order of PF, PM and PC — related
• The strategy-by-location interaction is not significant for retention, indicating similar retention across strategies in both locations — related
