Subclaims¶

q2 i? Pearson correlation between objective-test understanding scores and motivation questionnaire scores in the experimental group is a printed score correlation of 0.46 (Sig. 2-tailed = .046, n = 21), categorized by the article as moderate. → Prima 2018

Evidence¶

Prima 2018¶

Prima, E. C., Putri, A. R., & Rustaman, N. (2018). Learning Solar System using PhET Simulation to Improve Students' Understanding and Motivation. Journal of Science Learning, 1(2), 60-70. https://jurnal.uns.ac.id/science-learning

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Correlational analysis (Pearson test, Table 9) of post-learning objective-test and questionnaire scores for the experimental group (N = 21). The article prints "The score correlation is 0.46", a correlation the article categorizes as moderate; correlation is not evidence of causation.

"The result shows that the correlation between students’ understanding and motivation is correlated each other. The score correlation is 0.46; the category including 0.25-0.5 is moderate based on (Sarwono, 2006). It can be concluded that there is a correlation between students understanding and motivation using PhET simulation in the learning Solar system."
