Kenan BAŞ, Esen DURMUŞ. (2019). Pre-test the Effect of Teaching Social Studies Course through Performing Arts on the Students’ Academic Achievement and Permanence of their Knowledge. International Journal of Education & Literacy Studies 7(2). https://doi.org/10.7575/aiac.ijels.v.7n.2p.107

q3 · i2 · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study with 5 experimental (n = 125) and 5 control (n = 125) groups across five schools; Repeated Measures ANOVA compared groups. The article reports "a large effect size [η2=.102]" for the measurement effect, with posttest means of 74.22 (experimental) versus 62.45 (control).

"there was a statistically significant difference between the academic achievement scores of the experimental group where the teaching of social studies was carried out by performing arts and the control group students where the teaching of social studies was carried out through the methods and techniques prescribed by the current syllabus"
