On the delayed achievement test applied four weeks after the post-test, adjusted means favored the experimental group at all three cognitive levels and overall, statistically significant. → Najmuldeen 2017 q2 i3 The printed total-test Eta Square for the delayed-test group difference was 0.49, a large effect size. → Najmuldeen 2017 (2)

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Delayed achievement test applied four weeks after post-test to both groups (24 each) with ANCOVA pre-control. Adjusted delayed total means were 15.16 (experimental) versus 10.59 (control); the article reports the difference as statistically significant with no effect size in this sentence.

Total-test row of the delayed-test ANOVA table (Table 8) prints F = 43.09, significance 0.001, and Eta Square 0.49 (η² = 0.49) for the between-groups difference, a large printed effect size favoring the experimental group.
