q2 i? In a hierarchical multiple regression, pre-Lexile score accounted for 76 percent of current Lexile scores, Achieve3000 usage about 3.5 percent, and motivation to learn English roughly 1 percent (p < 0.01). → Luke 2017

q2 · i? · design · r2

Hierarchical multiple regression on Cajon Valley data with current Lexile as dependent variable and pre-test Lexile, Achieve3000 usage, motivation to learn English, and student age as predictors, run in IBM SPSS. Percentages are variance shares as printed; no standardized effect size is reported.

"The final multiple regression model indicated that pre-Lexile score serves as a 76 percent indicator of students' current Lexile scores, while Achieve3000 usage accounts for about 3.5 percent and students' motivation to learn English predicts roughly 1 percent of students' current Lexile score (p < 0.01)"
