Mary Muiruri, Patriciah Wambugu, Kuria Wamukuru. (2016). Using Advance Organizers to Enhance Pupils' Achievement in Poetry in English Language. Journal of Education and Practice, 7(31). https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1122519

q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental Solomon Four Non-Equivalent Control Group study of 160 class seven pupils in four purposively sampled Kenyan primary schools; one-way ANOVA of post-test PPAT scores across the four groups found the differences "statistically significant", so HO1 was rejected.

"The F-test results indicate that the calculated value of F (3, 156) = 26.120 p < 0.05 indicating that the differences in PPAT for the four groups were statistically significant."

Related Claims¶

• The non-pretested Advance Organizer group (E2) scored significantly higher than the pretested one (E1) on the post-test — related
• Tukey post-hoc comparisons show each Advance Organizer group significantly outperformed each control group on the poetry post-test — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
