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? Post-test English learning anxiety did not differ significantly between the RT experimental group and the control group (t=.49, not significant). → Chou 2013
Evidence¶
Chou 2013¶
Chou, C. (2013). A study on the effectiveness of applying "Readers' Theater" as English remedial instruction for underachievers. Taiwan Journal of TESOL, 10(1), 77-103. http://english.moe.gov.tw/ct.asp?xItem=7773&ctNode=516&mp=1
q2 · i? · causal · r2
Independent-samples t-test of the anxiety scale (Cronbach's alpha .82, adapted from the FLCAS) post-test for the 25 experimental and 24 control underachievers. The article reports the anxiety t-value of .49 "did not reach the .05 level of significance"; equivalence was not tested.
"This indicates that while students in the experimental group displayed higher levels of English self -efficacy and English learning motivation, they did not exhibit significantly differ ent levels of English learning anxiety from students who were not exposed to RT instruction."
