Subclaims¶

q2 i? The experimental group's mean score increased significantly from 4.96 at Test 1 to 8.15 at Test 3 after reviewing the film and completing the teacher-led activity. → Vereș 2020 q2 i? The experimental group's progress after the mediated activity (2.11) exceeded its progress after viewing alone (1.08) and the control group's viewing-only progress (0.60). → Vereș 2020 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental action-research with 27 first-graders split into an experimental group (13) and control group (14), matched on initial-test averages. The EG mean rose from 4.96 to 8.15 after the teacher-mediated activity; the article reports "a significant increase" without a test statistic.

"There is a significant increase in the average of the scores obtained by the EG in the three tests, from 4.96 in Test 1 to 8.15 in Test 3."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Comparison of progress between Test 1 and Test 2 for both groups after individual film viewing, reported in Table 2 of the results section. The EG gained 1.08 points versus 0.60 for the CG; the article prints no effect size for this contrast.

"Table 2 shows a greater progress in the EG (1.08) than in the CG (0.60)."
