Comparison of pre-test (EOTOFTE) and post-test (PTCT) mean scores for the whole sample: experimental means rose from 27.0 to 53.0 while control means rose from 26.7 to 29.5, giving the reported "higher mean gain of 26.0 compared to 2.8".

"The post test results show that experimental group perf ormed better than their counterpart control group b y having a higher mean gain of 26.0 compared to 2.8 respective ly."
