Subclaims¶
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? High achievers: experimental 72.33 vs control 64.67, t = 2.16, df = 10, p = .055. → Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad 2010
q2 i? Average achievers: experimental 61.38 vs control 51.38, t = 2.92, df = 14, p = .011. → Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad 2010 (2)
q2 i? Low achievers: experimental 53.90 vs control 45.20, t = 3.89, df = 18, p = .001. → Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad 2010 (3)
Evidence¶
Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad 2010¶
Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad. (2010). Effectiveness of Structural Method of Teaching Vocabulary. English Language Teaching, 3(3). https://www.ccsenet.org/elt
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Retention-test comparison for high achievers (n = 6 per group). The article reports the difference as significant with t = 2.16, df = 10, p = .055, a value at the edge of the .05 level.
"The means, standard deviations and standard errors of the means of the high achievers of the experimental group was found 72.33 and of the control group was 64.67 on retention test."

q2 · i? · causal · r1
Retention-test comparison for average achievers (n = 8 per group). t = 2.92, df = 14, p = .011, described as highly significant; the null hypothesis was rejected.
"The mean of the experimental group was found 61.38 and of the control group was 51.38. The standard errors of the means were 3.01 and 1.61 respectively."
Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad 2010 (3)¶
Malik Behlol & Hukam Dad. (2010). Effectiveness of Structural Method of Teaching Vocabulary. English Language Teaching, 3(3). https://www.ccsenet.org/elt
q2 · i? · causal · r1
Retention-test comparison for low achievers (n = 10 per group). t = 3.89, df = 18, p = .001, described as highly significant; the null hypothesis was rejected.
"The means, standard deviations and standard errors of the means of the low achievers of the experimental and control groups on retention test was found 53.90 and of the control group was 45.20."
