Within-treated-class pre-post comparison by sex (Table 1, N = 63): males averaged 4 of 27 nationalities 'not sure' at Time 1 and 19 at Time 2; females 7 and 22. Table 1 marks the Time 1 to Time 2 differences as two-tailed t-test significant at the 0.001 level; no effect size is printed.

"For both males and females, the increase in uncertainty was statistically significant."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• All racial and ethnic subgroups in the treated class shifted toward uncertainty about racial classifications after the lessons — related
• Students who received active-learning lessons designed to raise racial doubt became far less certain in classifying nationalities as White or non-White than students in a lecture-only course — a broader claim this one bears on
• Before the lessons, the treated and non-treated classes did not differ significantly in how they classified the twenty-seven nationalities — related
