q2 i1 Significant mean differences favored humanities, language and arts teachers (d = -0.24 to -0.62 relative to reference), while no significant gender differences were found. → Siddiq F. 2015

Siddiq F. 2015¶

Siddiq F., Scherer R. & Tondeur J. (2015). Teachers’ Emphasis on Developing Students’ Digital Information and Communication Skills (TEDDICS): A New Construct in 21st Century Education. Computers & Education. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2015.10.006

q2 · i1 · associational · r2

Factor mean comparison under strict invariance (Table 6) found significant subject differences with small-to-medium effect sizes; for gender, "no significant gender differences were found" across the three TEDDICS factors.

"More specifically, the mean differences to teachers of humanities, language and arts as the reference group ranged between d = -0.24 and d = -0.62, indicating that teachers of mathematics, science, and other subjects tended to emphasize the three aspects of TEDDICS less."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
