Quizzle. The Quizzle is a measure of logical problem-solving ability taken from a book of logic problems and administered to students as a pretest and a posttest.
To assess the effectiveness of the intervention on the PSLR and Quizzle, 2 x 2 x 2 analyses of variance (ANOVAs) were employed; grade level (seventh or eighth) and group (intervention or comparison) were between-subjects factors, and time (pretest to posttest) was a within-subjects factor.
A 2 x 2 x 2 ANOVA was performed to assess the effect of the intervention on the Quizzle. No significant main or interaction effects were observed, although the main effect of time (pretest to posttest) and the interaction effect of grade level and group approached significance, p = .07 and.
However, in this study, these improvements in their perceived abilities were not reflected in significantly higher scores on more objective measures of problem solving and academic achievement, such as the Quizzle, sample WASL items, and the WASL itself for the seventh-grade students.
