q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental study of 66 seventh-graders randomly assigned to three groups; ANCOVA on corrected EPT post-tests with Bonferroni post-hoc comparisons favored the combined group, "in favor of the experimental group". Table 8 reports corrected means of 15.38 (combined, n=27), 12.41 (laboratory only, n=21) and 12.43 (simulation only, n=18); the article's preceding prose gives different corrected means (16.283, 13.398 and 13.444), so the exact values are inconsistent within the source, though both sets rank the combined group highest.

"significant difference was found between the mean scores of the control group I in which the experiment method was applied and the experimental group in which analogy-based simulation method and laboratory method were applied together"
