q2 i? After covariance adjustment for pretest scores, the cooperative learning group significantly outperformed the control group on the math post-test (F=24.4, p<0.001), an effect attributed to the cooperative learning program. → Mery Luz Vega; Christian Hederich M 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pre/post study of 76 fourth-grade students (33 experimental, 43 control); univariate ANCOVA on math post-test with pretest as covariate found a significant GROUP effect (F=24.4, p<0.001); the model explained "28.3% of post-test variance".

"Significant differences in favor of the experimental group were observed (F= 24,4; p<0,001); this effect might be exclusively attributed to the cooperative learning program."
