Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? In a quasi-experimental non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group study, students taught with problem solving strategy scored significantly higher in mathematical communication than students taught with the scientific approach (t = 8.50, Sig. < 0.025). → Tambunan 2019

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Quasi-experiment with non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design; experimental group n = 138, control n = 139, 10th grade in Medan, Indonesia. The t test gave "the value of t = 8.50, Sig. < 0.025"; descriptive mean for communication was 75.6304 (experiment) vs 71.8705 (control).
"The results of the t test show that the value of t = 8.50, Sig. < 0.025, the null hypothesis was rejected, and therefore, problem solving strategies are more effective than scientific approaches to students' abilities in mathematical communication."
