q2 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive comparison of pre- and post-test means from Table (3) with a reported Partial Eta Squared of 0.024. The article's interpretation of the eta-squared value is vague; the descriptive means are reported as printed.

"the experimental improved most in the point of view aspect in which their mean score increased from 6.06 in the pre-test to 7.50 in the post-test, followed in descending order by unity and coherence, development, organization and thinking. In addition, the Partial Eta Squared was 0.024, which means that there are differences in the mean groups."

• Paper-and-pencil concept mapping at the pre-writing stage significantly improved EFL students' argumentative essay performance across five writing aspects — a broader claim this one bears on
• The control group receiving textbook-only instruction showed no significant pre-to-post differences on any of the five writing aspects — related
