q2 i? A one-way ANOVA found a significant difference in average GPAs among the five learner groups, F(4, 173) = 51.44, p = 0.000, with the Well-rounded group highest and the Novice group lowest. → Abhinava Barthakur 2026

q2 · i? · associational · r2

One-way ANOVA comparing mean program GPAs across the five clusters identified in RQ2; the article prints "F(4, 173) = 51.44, p = 0.000" and reports the Well-rounded group had the highest average GPA and the Novice group the lowest. No effect size is printed.

"There was a significant difference in GPAs at the p < 0.05 level for the five learner groups, F(4, 173) = 51.44, p = 0.000."
