Pairwise Comparisons, Coefficient of Consistency, Circular Triads, Law of Comparative Judgment (LCJ), This study aimed to calculate average effect sizes for experimental and quasi-experimental studies of the effect of mathematics teaching methods on some emotional and psychological variables published in peer-reviewed Jordanian journals. The sample included (20) preliminary studies. Meta-analysis was used, and a coding model was developed that was verified for validity and reliability. The results showed that the average effect sizes of the primary studies varied. The results showed that the average overall effect size of the preliminary studies on the impact of teaching methods on some emotional and psychological variables is (1.438) and indicates a very large level of effect size, according to Cohen. The average effect size according to the secondary stage was large (1.554), and not significant for the university stage. It came at a huge level (1.925, 1.882) according to the sample size variable for the category (5 - 55) individuals, and the duration of the study for the period (more than a month and less than a semester), respectively. Based on the results, the researchers recommend conducting more mathematics education studies on gifted students, private schools, the university level, and the preparatory stage, including emotional and psychological variables.Abstract
The study aimed to examine the internal consistency values of a set of judgments and assess the effect of judgment consistency on the conformity of the data in the fifth case of Thurston's law of comparative judgments. The study included 402 science instructors from schools in both Irbid and Bani Obeid districts who completed an electronic survey. The survey, in its final revision, comprised seven different types of instructional tools employed in science education, given in 21 pairings. Participants had to determine which of the two stimuli held greater significance in the context of science instruction. The findings showed a disparity in the consistency of the internal coefficient values among the arbitrators. The findings further indicated that the level of internal consistency has an effect on the compatibility of the data in the fifth case of Thurston's Law of Comparative Judgments. The probability of data fitting improves as the level of internal consistency increases
