q3 i0 MANCOVA and ANCOVA effects of gender, year of study, fields of study, and age on value- and practice-related conception factors were trivial (partial η² < .15). → Eren 2010

Eren, A. (2010). Consonance and dissonance between Turkish prospective teachers' values and practices: Conceptions about teaching, learning, and assessment. Australian Journal of Teacher Education, 35(3). https://ro.ecu.edu.au/ajte/vol35/iss3/2/ doi:10.14221/ajte.2010v35n3.3

q3 · i0 · associational · r2

MANCOVAs with ANCOVA follow-ups on 304 prospective teachers testing gender, year of study, fields of study, and age (covariate) on TLCQ and TCAS subscales. Some multivariate field-of-study effects appeared but were not confirmed in univariate tests; the article reports the effects as not important.

"the partial η² cofficients were quite small (< .15) (see Cohen, 1992), indicating that the effects of demographic variables on both value and practice-related factors of the TLCQ were trivial."
