Subclaims¶

q2 i? After 18 plasticized-clay art activity sessions, the overall average across the six basic mathematics skills was rated at a high level (3.688). → Chumark 2016

Evidence¶

Chumark 2016¶

Chumark, C. & Puncreobutr, V. (2016). Developing Basic Mathematical Skills of Pre-School Children by using Plasticized Clay. Journal of Education and Practice, 7(12). https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1099541

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Post-activity ratings from Table 1 (N=15) of the one-group pre-test/post-test study, using the researcher's measurement tool. The overall average was "at high level (3.688)" with S.D. .2259.

"The overall average o f all the 6 skills is at high level (3.688). The re sult indicates that all skills have high effect in developing Math ematical skills; except classification skills, whic h is moderate at 3.466."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Classification is the least-developed basic mathematics skill after plasticized-clay activities, rated moderate — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Each of the six individual basic mathematics skills improves significantly after plasticized-clay activities — related
• Preschool children's overall basic mathematics scores rise significantly after plasticized-clay art activities (p<.01, t=26.458) — related
