q2 i? The ANOVA of reading comprehension posttest scores was significant across the three groups (F=5.41, Sig.=.006), rejecting the null hypothesis. → Hassan Soleimani & Fatemeh Nabizadeh 2012

Hassan Soleimani & Fatemeh Nabizadeh. (2012). The Effect of Learner Constructed, Fill in the Map Concept Map Technique, and Summarizing Strategy on Iranian Pre-university Students' Reading Comprehension. English Language Teaching, 5(9). https://doi.org/10.5539/elt.v5n9p78

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Omnibus ANOVA on posttest scores of three intact groups (30 subjects each) of intermediate pre-university students. Table 1 prints F=5.41 with df 2 and 87 and Sig.=.006; the null hypothesis of no difference was rejected. No effect size is printed.

"As Table1 indicates, there was significant difference between the performance of the three groups (Sig= .006). In other words, the null hypothesis that "there is no significant difference between the reading comprehension of three groups" was rejected."
