K. Thiyagu. (2012). Effectiveness of Co-operative Learning Method in Learning of Mathematics among Eighth Standard Students. i-manager's Journal on Educational Psychology, Vol. 5 No. 4, February - April 2012. https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1102329

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Two equivalent-group quasi-experiment with 20 students per group matched on pre-test scores; treatment was 60 minutes per day over fifteen days. Table 1 reports control mean 6.46 (SD 2.60) versus experimental mean 9.92 (SD 2.32), calculated t = 3.58, "*Significant" at the 5% level.

"It is inferred from the Table 1 that there is a significant difference between control and experimental group students in their gain scores. That is, the experimental group students are better than the control group students in their gain scores."
