q2 i? The experimental group scored significantly higher than the control group on the learning strategies subscale after the intervention. → Nawar M. Al-Rawahi & Sulaiman M. Al-Balushi 2015

q2 · i? · causal · r2

ANCOVA on post-administration learning-strategies scores with pre-test as covariate gave F=6.35, p=0.02 for Method of Instruction. Post means were 3.70 (experimental, n=32) versus 3.27 (control, n=30).

"Table 3 shows these results, and they indicate that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of participants’ self -regulation strategies in both scales (i.e. motivation and learning strategies) and in the overall score."
