Subclaims¶

q2 i? After Worksheet 1, the experimental group obtained better grades than the control group. → Magdaş and Bontea 2011 q2 i? By Worksheet 2 the experimental class continued to grow while the control class remained largely the same. → Magdaş and Bontea 2011 (2)

Evidence¶

Magdaş and Bontea 2011¶

Ioana Magdaş, Timea Bontea. (2011). Developing digital competences using an educational software. A pedagogical research. Acta Didactica Napocensia, Volume 4, Number 4, ISSN 2065-1430. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1056072

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Grade distributions on Worksheet 1 (table operations exercises) after teaching with the software: EG had 18% at grades 9-10 versus CG 8%. The article's statement is descriptive; no significance test is reported for the worksheets.

"Use of educational software for teaching and l earning of Access has led to better grades for the experimental group."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Grade distributions on Worksheet 2 (queries of different difficulty): EG had 23% at grades 9-10 versus CG 8%, and only 4% of EG below 5 versus 8% of CG. No statistical test is printed for this comparison.

"We can note that experimental class shows continue to grow and control class remains largely the same."
