q2 · i? · causal · r2

One-way ANCOVA on post-test total Self-Efficacy Scale for English scores, controlling for pre-test, in the same 78-student matching-only quasi-experiment. Adjusted means were 101.36 (experimental) versus 92.62 (control); F(1,75)=8.77, p<0.05.

"As Table 7 shows, the ANCOVA result indicates that English self-efficacy of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group [F(1,75)=8.77, p<0.05]."
