Subclaims¶

q2 i? IRAT and TRAT scores showed very low-to-low correlations with module high scores, with only chemical equivalency (IRAT) and dilution and concentration (TRAT) reaching significance. → Bell 2022

Evidence¶

Bell 2022¶

Bell, E. C. (2022). Individual Vs. team based readiness assurance testing in pharmacy calculations. International Journal of Instruction, 15(1), 733-746. https://doi.org/10.29333/iji.2022.15142a

q2 · i? · associational · r1

Correlational analysis of RAT scores against module highest attained scores. The study reports "very low -to-low correlations with module high scores" for IRAT except chemical equivalency (p < .05), and similarly very low-to-low TRAT correlations with dilution and concentration significant (p < .05).

"With one exception, IRAT scores exhibited very low -to-low correlations with module high scores. A statistically significant correlation was observed between data sets pertaining to the topic of chemical equivalency ( p < .05; Table 3)."
