Subclaims¶

q2 i? Both formats showed statistically significant improvement from iRAT to tRAT and iSAT, which the authors attribute to team work, partial credit, and open-book design. → Cynthia J. Miller 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Discussion of performance results: the authors state the tRAT gain is expected because partial credit is given for incorrect answers and students work in teams, and the open-book design would be predicted to raise performance.

"In both TBL formats, there was a statistically significant improvement in tRAT and iSAT scores relative to the preceding iRAT scores."
