Subclaims¶

q2 i? Standard deviations of composition marks were greater at school than at home: 16.4 percent greater for form and 49.0 percent greater for content. → Heck 1914 q2 i? Arithmetic marks show the same pattern: school standard deviations exceeded home ones for both computation (2.36 vs 2.25) and reasoning (1.81 vs 1.42). → Heck 1914 (2)

Evidence¶

Heck 1914¶

Heck, W. H. (1914). Comparative tests of home work and school work. The Journal of Educational Psychology. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1412814

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Variability analysis of the composition experiment: home standard deviations were 3.29 (form) and 4.06 (content) versus school 3.83 and 6.05. The author notes greater deviation in every case, especially in the less mechanical phase of content.

"The deviations in the school compositions are 16.4 percent, greater in the marks for form and 49.0 percent, greater in the marks for content than are those in the home com- positions."

Heck 1914 (2)¶

Heck, W. H. (1914). Comparative tests of home work and school work. The Journal of Educational Psychology. https://www.jstor.org/stable/1412814

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Variability analysis of the arithmetic experiment across the six classes. The author notes the reasoning-problem difference is especially important because those tests required more mental work than the computation tests.

"The'6 classes (141 students) had a S. D. of 2.25 in their home com- putation test and of 2.36 in their corresponding school test; and an S. D. of 1.42 in their home reasoning test and of 1.81 in their corresponding school test."
