q3 i? On the delayed permanence test administered four weeks after the post-test, the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group, and its score decline was smaller. → Yenen 2019

Permanence test: the same achievement test was re-administered four weeks after the post-test to both groups. Experimental mean was "X =82.81" and control "X =69.90", t(63) = -4.26, p < .05; declines were 2.70% versus 4.91%. No effect size was printed.

"However, this decrease was 2.70% in the experimental group and 4.91% in the control group. In other words, the difference between the achievement test scores between the experimental ( X =82.81) and control ( X =69.90) group was further increased. This difference was also significant with respect to t -test results [t (63) = - 4.26, p <.05]."
