q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental study of 24 experimental and 24 control sixth-grade students; ANCOVA controlled pre-achievement. Adjusted post-test total means were 14.38 (experimental) versus 6.04 (control); the article reports the difference as statistically significant with no effect size in this sentence.
