q2 · i? · causal · r1

Qualitative content analysis of post-test responses to 'The Neutron Bomb Will Save Civilization'. The article reports 28 experimental versus 12 control teachers reached the deeper ironic meaning; these are descriptive frequencies with no test statistic.

"Twenty-eight pre-service teachers in the experimental group and 12 pre-service teachers in the control group claimed that the author was against war and the damages of war and against the neutron bomb;"

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Same post-test content analysis: superficial (literal) readings were rare in the experimental group (2) and common in the control group (18). Frequencies are descriptive; no inferential test is reported for this contrast.

"two pre-service teachers in the experimental group and 18 pre-service teachers in the control group believed that the author was for the war and the neutron bomb;"

• Before critical reading instruction, pre-service teachers mostly summarized and read the ironical text superficially — related
• Critical readers underlined and took notes of more critical points (ironies, questions, metaphors) and summarized less than less-critical readers — related
