q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test study with a control group; 40 5th-grade students in Trabzon, 20 per group, compared by Mann–Whitney U-test. The article reports "a significant difference between the post test scores" favouring the experiment group, with no significant pre-test difference (U=136,00, p>.05).

"There was a significant difference between the post test scores conducted on experiment and control groups in favour of the experiment group (U=76,00, p<.05)."
