Subclaims¶

q2 i? Above-average and below-average intelligence groups did not differ significantly in adjusted physics concept understanding (F = .37, not significant). → Kumar 2013

Evidence¶

Kumar 2013¶

Kumar, A., & Mathur, M. (2013). Effect of Concept Attainment Model on Acquisition of Physics Concepts. Universal Journal of Educational Research, 1(3), 165-169. https://doi.org/10.13189/ujer.2013.010304

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Null result from the second 2x2 factorial ANCOVA (treatment x intelligence): "The adjusted F-value for intelligence is .37, which is not significant". Intelligence was measured with Raven's Standard Matrices; equivalence was not tested.

"The adjusted F-value for intelligence is .37, which is not significant. It indicates that the adjusted mean scores of physics concept understanding of students belonging to above average intelligence group and below average intelligence group did not differ significantly"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• General Cognitive Ability — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
