q2 i? Pre-test means and standard deviations indicated the two school groups entered the study at comparable reading ability. → Hanna Onyi Yusuf & Sadiq Mohammed 2013

Evidence¶

Hanna Onyi Yusuf & Sadiq Mohammed 2013¶

Hanna Onyi Yusuf & Sadiq Mohammed. (2013). Influence of Prior Knowledge Questions on Pupils' Performance in Reading Comprehension in Primary Schools in Kaduna, Nigeria. Advances in Language and Literary Studies, 4(1). https://doi.org/10.7575/aiac.alls.v.4n.1p.134

q2 · i? · causal · r1

Descriptive comparison of pre-test scores in the quasi-experiment: experimental mean 42.5 (SD 10.12) and control mean 41.3 (SD 9.91), N = 30 per group. The authors state the difference in standard deviations was very little and pupils were "of equivalent reading ability at the point of entry."

"One can therefore say that pupils in the two groups are of equivalent reading ability at the point of entry."
