q2 i? Pre-test scores showed no significant difference between groups, while post-test scores showed a significant difference favouring the experimental group. → K. Thiyagu 2012

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Pre/post comparison in the same quasi-experiment (N=20 per group). Table 3 reports pre-test means 8.85 vs 8.53 (t = 0.33, Not Sig.) and post-test means 15.31 vs 18.46 (t = 3.83, Sig.) at the 5% level.

"It is inferred from Table 3 that there is no significant difference between Pre-test scores of control group and experimental group students. But there is significant difference between Post-test scores of control group students and experimental group students."
