q2 i? The experimental group taught with TMM software scored significantly higher on the post-test than the control group taught conventionally (t(59) = 2.59, p = .01). → Enayati and Gilakjani 2020

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental control-group study: 31 experimental learners used TMM software and 30 control learners received conventional instruction for 12 sessions; independent samples t-test on post-test scores showed "a statistically significant difference" with means 42.16 vs 37.47.

"there is a statistically significant difference (t (59) = 2.59, p = .01, p < .05) in vocabulary learning measures for the experimental group ( 𝑥̅ = 42.16) , who experienced vocabulary in struction through TMM, and control group ( 𝑥̅ = 37.47)"

Learner Variables¶

• Vocabulary — outcome: instruction changes it
