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? The experimental group showed a higher level of conceptual achievement than the control group on the posttest of the Force and Motion Subject Short-Answer Questions Test (t=4.264, p=0.001). → Kocakaya and Gönen 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r2
Independent sample t-test of posttest scores on the 20-item short-answer test (15 fill-in-the-blank, 5 true-false with 'because' justifications): experimental mean 30.65 (SD 16.980, n=30) vs control mean 12.18 (SD 7.064, n=17), t=4.264, p=0.001. No effect size printed for this comparison.
"At the end of the study, when the scores of the Force and Motion Short-Answer Questions Test applied to the experimental and control groups were compared, it was seen that the experimental group had a higher level of conceptual achievement."
