q2 i? Paired comparison of the experimental group showed significantly higher post-test than pre-test critical thinking disposition. → Fettahlıoğlu 2018

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Paired samples t-test on the experimental group (n=22) in the quasi-experimental study; means rose from 4.51 to 4.67 and the article reports "a statistically significant difference has been found on behalf of post -test points" [t(21)=2.38, p<.05].

"It is observed that teacher candidates’ point average in the pre-test is 4.51 and post-test point average is 4.67 in Table 4. According to the paired samples t -test applied to understand if there is a statistically significant difference between these points, a statistically significant difference has been found on behalf of post -test points between them [t (21) =2.38, p< .05]."
