Subclaims¶

q3 i? Experimental group post-test mean (47.35) was significantly higher than control group post-test mean (34.97) on the MAT. → Hossain 2012

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental equivalent pre-post test control group design with 84 experimental and 84 control students over 15 weeks; independent-sample t-test on MAT post-test scores. The article reports the post-test difference was "significant [t (166) = 34.25, p < 0.05] in favor of the experimental group"; pre-test means were equivalent (25.26 vs 25.38).

"Table 4 shows the experimental group scored post -test mean of 47.35 (SD = 2.64) which is higher than the control group with post -test mean score of 34.97 (SD = 1.99). The difference between these two post-test means was significant [t (166) = 34.25, p < 0.05] in favor of the experimental group"
