Subclaims¶

q3 i? The difference on the unity component was statistically significant but smaller, which the researchers attribute to the relative difficulty of unity in writing. → Bataineh 2017

Post-test unity scores (Table 4): experimental mean 1.63 (SD 0.54) versus control 1.35 (SD 0.48), t = 2.40, df = 78, Sig. 0.019 — the smallest t of the five components. The researchers suggest more teacher emphasis on unity might have improved scores further.

"The results reveal a statistically signifcant, albeit smaller, difference in students' performance on the unity component."
