Robabeh Puran, Mohamad Hasan Behzadi, Ahmad Shahvarani, Farhad Hosseinzadeh Lotfi. (2017). The Effects of Training and Other Factors on Problem Solving in Students. European Journal of Contemporary Education, 6(3): 448-460. https://doi.org/10.13187/ejced.2017.3.448

q2 · i? · causal · r1

ANOVA (Hypothesis 2) on the 450-student pre-test sample: between-groups p = 0.024, which the article reads as a significant relationship between parents' education and students' creative thinking, despite its contradictory preceding clause.

"The results of table 4 show that the p-value (0.024) was less than 0.05. Therefore, parents’ mean level of education and students’ mean level of creative thinking do not correlate, and there is a significant relationship between parents’ education and stude nts’ creative thinking."

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Post-hoc Tukey's test across parent-education groups (illiterate n = 20, under diploma n = 207, diploma n = 105, BA n = 75, MA n = 23): BA and MA group means (2.58, 3.02) exceeded the other groups; lower groups did not differ significantly.

"the creative thinking of illiterate, under diploma, diploma, and junior college diploma groups had no significant differences, but means of the BA and MA groups were higher than those of the other groups."
