Subclaims¶

q2 i? Two-way ANOVA showed a significant difference in overall achievement scores between the VFT group and the conventional group (F = 68.979, sig = 0.000). → Norbaizura HARIS & Kamisah OSMAN 2015 q2 i? The VFT group's post-test overall mean (66.80) was substantially higher than its pre-test mean (26.73), while the control group rose only from 20.60 to 29.00. → Norbaizura HARIS & Kamisah OSMAN 2015 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experiment with 60 students in two non-randomly selected groups (n=30 each); two-way ANOVA on formative test total scores after Levene's test showed homogeneous variances. The article reports "the F =68 979 and sig =0.000 (p <0.05)"; no effect size is printed.

"Table: 3 shows significant di fferences in overall achievement scores of students taught using the VFT with students taught using conventional methods for the topic of Colonization and Succession in Mangrove Ecosystems with the F =68 979 and sig =0.000 (p <0.05)."

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive means from the same quasi-experiment (Table 2): treatment post-test mean=66.80 (SD=11.248) versus pre-test 26.73; control post-test 29.00 versus pre-test 20.60. These are descriptive statistics only; no effect size is reported.

"Table: 2 shows the group of students who were taught using the VFT shows the overall results of post -test (mean=66.80 and SD =11 248) higher than the pre -test (mean=26.73 and SD =16 438)."
