q2 · i? · causal · r1

Baseline survey in the same quasi-experiment: the class with the lower average was assigned as the intervention group. At the intermediate test after one month, the article reports the intervention class at 1.01 and the control class at 1.07, still lower despite improvement.

"The pre-test result (Table 2) showed that the interventio n class is 0.04 lower than the control class on general average score of fine motor skills."

• Post-test gains were skill-specific: the intervention class exceeded the control class in pinching, touching, drawing and cutting, but not in folding and stringing — related
