q2 i? Children in the eight intervention classrooms improved significantly more in science learning than children in the six comparison classrooms, in both score-gain and post-test regression models. → science-gains-1

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Linear regression analyses of pre/post science assessment data from the field study's eight intervention and six comparison classrooms. The report states children in intervention classrooms made "significantly more improvement in science learning" with β = 1.33, p < .01 (gain model) and β = 1.16, p < .05 (post-test model).

"Results from the analyses of science data show a significant difference, with children in the intervention classrooms making significantly more improvement in science learning relative to children in the comparison (business as usual) classrooms (β = 1.33, p = < .01 for the Score Gain model and β = 1.16, p = < .05 for the post-test model)."
