A McNemar test comparing paired dichotomous responses found "χ2 (1, N = 49) = 5.63, p = .018", a "significant difference in favor of the students wanting to write more-interactive-in-school".

"We also used the McNemar test (Field, 2005) for comparing two paired dichotomous observations, more-traditional-in-school versus more-interactive-in-school, and obtained χ2 (1, N = 49) = 5.63, p = .018. There is a significant difference in favor of the students wanting to write more-interactive-in-school."
