q2 · i? · causal · r2

Questionnaire data from the experimental group using a validated attitude instrument (Fogarty et al., 2001); the article reports category distributions in Figure 6, with experimental students generally at "excellent" attitudes. No effect size is printed.

"According to the Figure 6 mostly students in the control group had “very good” attitudes related to mathematics confident and generally students in the experimental group had “excellent” attitudes."
