Subclaims¶

q3 i? Differences favoring the experimental group at one week and three weeks were not statistically significant, so hypotheses III and IV were refuted. → 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

Independent samples t-test on the third control test after one week; the EC (n = 28) scored M = 9.18, SD = 3.72 versus CG (n = 25) M = 6.92, SD = 3.96, but the article reports the difference as "could not be detected as significant" (NS).

"quite higher values (M = 9.18, SD = 3.72) were observed in the EC (n = 28) than in the CG (n = 25, M = 6.92, SD = 3.96), but this difference could not be detected as significant (t (51) = - 2.14, p = .037, NS)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Long-Term Memory — outcome: instruction changes it
