The items are labeled QI to
Q5. For this evaluation, values of p < 0.05 are regarded as
statistically significant. Apart from Q3 in Compiler
Technology tutorial and QI in CPU Pipeline Technology the
rest of the results indicate that the probability that the
differences between the pre and the post tests can be attributed
to the intervention by the simulations is significantly high. This
then disproves the null hypothesis and lends significant support
to the assumption that the simulations were instrumental in
helping the students to feel more confident in their
understanding and in their ability to explain and demonstrate
the theory covered during the lectures.
