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? Students taught with problem solving strategy scored significantly higher in problem solving ability than the scientific-approach group (t = 11.447, Sig. < 0.025). → Tambunan 2019

Hardi Tambunan. (2019). The Effectiveness of the Problem Solving Strategy and the Scientific Approach to Students' Mathematical Capabilities in High Order Thinking Skills. International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 14(2), 293-302. https://doi.org/10.29333/iejme/5715

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental comparison of the two teaching approaches on problem solving ability; experimental group n = 138, control n = 139. Posttest means were 77.5435 (experiment) versus 73.6259 (control).

"The results of the t test show that the value of t = 11.447, Sig. < 0.025, the null hypothesis was rejected, and therefore, problem solving strategies are more effective than the scientific approach to students' abilities in solving mathematical problems."
