q2 i3 Among experimental learners, RAT scores correlated positively and significantly with GT (r = .513), OT (r = .790), and WT (r = .855). → Đặng 2012 q2 i3 Among control learners, RAT correlated significantly with OT (r = .661) and WT (r = .818), but weakly with GT (r = .472). → Đặng 2012 (2)

Evidence¶

Đặng 2012¶

Đặng, T. T. Đ., & Nguyễn, H. T. (2012). Direct versus Indirect Explicit Methods of Enhancing EFL Students' English Grammatical Competence: A Concept Checking-based Consciousness-raising Tasks Model. English Language Teaching, 6(1), 112. https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v6n1p112

q2 · i3 · causal · r2

Correlational analysis among the 47 experimental learners relating rule analysis test scores to grammar, oral, and delayed written test scores; the printed correlation coefficients were r = .513 (GT), r = .790 (OT), and r = .855 (WT), all reported statistically significant.

"There is a positive relationship between the RAT and the ot her three tests: GT (.513), OT (.790), and WT (.855) among the experimental learners and all were found to be statistically significant"

q2 · i3 · associational · r1

Correlational analysis among the 47 control learners relating rule analysis scores to oral (r = .661), delayed written (r = .818), and grammar test (r = .472) scores; the article characterizes the RAT-GT relationship as weak. The authors note the CG correlations were lower than the EG's.

"Although the correlation figures of the OT (.661), WT (.818) were all statistically significant, the relationship between the RAT and the GT was weak; its correlative value was .472."
