Subclaims¶

q2 i? Expert review of posttest answers found 19 of 38 experimental students used all three approaches, and students using all approaches performed better than others; the eight highest-scoring students all used the three approaches. → Çakiroğlu 2013

Evidence¶

Çakiroğlu 2013¶

Çakiroğlu, Ü. (2013). Using a hybrid approach to facilitate learning introductory programming. The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology, 12(1), 161-177. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1008878

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Experts' review of experimental-group posttest responses coded which approaches (CFC, analogy, template) each student used per question. The article states "These statistics present some evidence that students who used all of the approaches performed better than others"; this is a correlational observation, not a tested comparison.

"It can be seen from Table 10 and Table 11 that there were 19 students who used all of the three approaches and only S13, S25 and S28 did not use any of the approaches."
