q2 i? After ANCOVA adjustment using pretest scores as covariate, HWBTM students scored significantly higher than CTM students on the conceptual test (means 10.96 vs 8.31 out of 14). → Ali Khalid Ali Bawaneh 2010

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental 2x2 factorial study of 273 eighth graders in four Jordanian schools randomly assigned to HWBTM (n=135) or CTM (n=138); ANCOVA with pretest covariate gave F(1,270) = 114.72, P <.05, in favor of HWBTM, described as "The difference between the two means was 2.65."

"The mean of the HWBTM students' scores was 10.96; WKH PHDQ RI WKH &0 VWXGHQWV¶ scores was 8.31. The difference between the two means was 2.65."
