q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test control group study of 260 junior secondary students in Ekiti State, Nigeria; experimental groups used Preview-and-Predict and K-W-L strategies for six weeks. Post-test means were 22.504 (experimental) versus 14.284 (control), with t-calculated "– 21.62" against a table value of 1.96, reported as a significant difference.

"Table 2 above shows that the t-calculated is – 21.62 while the table value is 1.96, therefore the t-calculated is greater than the table value the null hypothesis is retained at 0.05 level of significance. Therefore achievement of the students in the experimental group is significantly different from that of the control group."
