Related Claims¶

• In the frontal-instruction control lesson, teacher attention concentrated on the student at the blackboard and most students remained passive — related
• Students in the individualized tablet lesson progressed far enough to reach a competitive game activity that the frontal-instruction control group could not reach due to time constraints — related
• The teacher and researcher judged the individualized tablet-group students more motivated than the control group, but report this as a subjective opinion — related
