Subclaims¶

q2 i? The experimental group scored higher than the control group on the computer attitude aspect (71.62% vs 63.25%) and the determination-theory aspect (69.87% vs 62%), while the control group scored higher on the science content aspect (73% vs 79.12% as printed for the experimental group). → Prima 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Motivation questionnaire (20 statements adapted from CAQ, Science Motivation Questionnaire, and Determination Theory Perspective questionnaires) administered before and after learning; average percentages per aspect are reported descriptively with no significance test, so no effect size is printed.

"In experiment gr oup, the score is 71.62% and control group is 63.25%. For sc ience content, is describes how students learn in the Solar system topic. In the score, the control group is higher than experiment group. The score control group is 73% and experiment group is 79.12. The determination self-aspect describes using PhET as teaching media in learning Solar system topic. The experiment group is higher score about 69.87% than control group is about 62%."
