Subclaims¶

q3 i? The interaction between group and level of pre-achievement was significant in favor of the high achievement group in the experimental condition, and low achievers in the experimental group approached the control group’s high achievers. → Ziad Mohammed Mahmoud Qabaja 2016

q3 · i? · causal · r2

3-way ANCOVA interaction (F = 5.092, significant level 0.026) from the quasi-experiment; the authors interpret the closeness of adjusted means 37.736 and 36.321 as indicating the strategy reduced the gap between high and low achievement students.

"the re searchers noticed from the above table that there is an appar ent development in the mean scores of the low achie vement students in the experimental group (37.736), and if we compare them with the mean scores of the high achievement in the control group (36.321), we can n otice that the mean scores are close to each other"
