q2 · i? · causal · r1

Analysis of individual skill scores on the final exam (Table 3, α=.01) comparing control (n=137) and experimental (n=119) groups across all 14 skills. The article reports "an average of 10.5-point higher score in the skills" for the active learning group, with t values ranging from 2.25 to 13.32 as printed in Table 3.

"the data illustrates that there is a difference in each of the 14 writing and research skills between the experiment and control groups. Those students taught via active learning made significant gains, with an average of 10.5-point higher score in the skills, than those taught with lecture-based instruction"
