Subclaims¶

q3 i? Learners who learned words in a text-oriented manner showed significantly better retention 24 hours after the learning phase than the control group. → Nader Haghani & Samira Kiani 2018

Evidence¶

Nader Haghani & Samira Kiani 2018¶

Nader Haghani & Samira Kiani. (2018). On the Efficiency of Text Production in Vocabulary Learning: An Empirical Study on Iranian GFL-Learners. Journal of Education and Learning, 7(3). https://doi.org/10.5539/jel.v7n3p176

q3 · i? · causal · r1

Second control test 24 hours after learning, analyzed with an independent samples t-test between the experimental group (n = 28) and control group (n = 25); the article reports "t (51) = -2.72, p = .009" as significant.

"higher values (M = 10.28, SD = 3.15) were found in the EC (n = 28) than in the CG (n = 25, M = 7.64, SD = 3.91). The independent samples t-test showed a significant difference between the groups (t (51) = -2.72, p = .009"
