q3 i? Experimental-group participants felt significantly more confident with the Toulmin model after the intervention than at pretest. → Sarah von der Mühlen 2019

Evidence¶

Sarah von der Mühlen 2019¶

Sarah von der Mühlen, Tobias Richter, Sebastian Schmid, Kirsten Berthold. (2019). How to improve argumentation comprehension in university students: experimental test of a training approach. Instructional Science 47:215–237. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11251-018-9471-3

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Paired-samples t-test in the experimental group (n = 24) comparing posttest confidence on a 1–6 Likert scale with pretest confidence, supporting Hypothesis 3. Confidence dropped a little at follow-up but remained higher than pretest.

"participants in the experimental group felt significantly more confident with the Toulmin model after the intervention (M = 4.75, SE = .14), compared to the pretest (M = 3.17, SE = .16), t (23) = − 10.00, p < .001, one-tailed."
