q3 · i? · causal · r2

One-way ANOVA on weighted semester grades in the same RCT found no significant condition differences; a baseline check showed no pre-intervention differences between groups.

"The results showed no significant effect of condition on post-intervention academic performance, F(3, 77) = 0.608, p = .612, η2 = 0.024, not supporting hypothesis H3a."
