q2 i? Students taught Civic Education with the 5Es instructional strategy scored significantly higher on post-test civic literacy than students taught with the conventional method, after adjusting for pretest scores. → AbdulRaheem 2018 q2 i? In this sample of 77 students in two intact classes in Ilorin, the mean gain score of the 5Es class (22.41) was larger than the mean gain of the conventional class (10.63). → AbdulRaheem 2018 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

One-way between-group ANCOVA in a quasi-experimental pretest/post-test study of two intact classes (39 experimental, 38 control) in Ilorin, Nigeria, with pretest scores as covariate. The article reports "F (1,67 =14.94, P = 0.00)" and R squared = .565.

"there was a significant difference between the post-test scores of experimental and control groups on the Civic Education achievement test, (F (1,67 =14.94, P = 0.00))"

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive comparison of mean gain scores from Table 1 of the quasi-experiment: the 5Es treatment group's posttest mean was 59.64 versus 40.21 for the conventional group; the article reports "the mean gain score of students taught using the 5Es instructional strategy is 22.41".

"the mean gain score of students taught using the 5Es instructional strategy is 22.41, while the mean gain score of those taught using a traditional strategy is 10.63"
