q3 i? Independent samples t-tests found no statistically significant difference in pre-test scores between the SCP and TP groups overall (p=0.70) or within middle (p=0.31) and high school (p=0.46) subgroups. → Corlu 2011

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Baseline check in the quasi-experiment: after the shared first intervention, pre-test scores did not differ between groups (p=0.70), with subgroup checks at p=0.31 (middle) and p=0.46 (high school). The article reports "no statistically significant difference (p=0.70) in pre-test scores between the groups"; equivalence was not formally tested.

"Independent samples t-test at 95% confidence level provided no statistically significant difference (p=0.70) in pre-test scores between the groups after the first intervention, and it was concluded that the groups were at a close starting point before the second intervention"
