Subclaims¶

q2 i? In a quasi-experiment with 53 students, the game condition scored significantly higher on post-game deep-learning strategy use than the no-game condition (p = 0.027). → Tung Nhu Nguyen 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1

ANCOVA of 53 students (29 game, 24 no-game) with post-game deep-learning strategy score as dependent variable and pre-game strategy score as covariate; condition effect significant at "p = 0.027 < 0.05", favoring the game condition. No effect size is printed in the quoted result sentence.

"Table 3 shows that there is a sign ificant difference in mean scores for strategy use between the two condition groups (p = 0.027 < 0.05). The higher mean score is in favor of game condition (Table 2)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Self-Regulation — outcome: instruction changes it

• The simulation game group felt significantly less competent than the no-game group, with no significant differences in interest or effort — related
• Pre-game competence interacts with learning condition in predicting post-game competence — related
• During the game, most students reported exerting effort, but fewer than half reported feeling competent or interested, and most reported deeper study — related
• ANCOVA on final test scores showed a significant difference favoring the simulation-based group, with a printed effect size of 0.90 — related
