Paired samples t tests comparing post-test and retention test scores four weeks later. The article reports "a statistically significant difference between post-test achievement scores and retention scores of control group 2 in favor of post-test scores," while the other groups showed no significant change.

"there are no statistically significant differences between post -test achievement scores and retention test scores of both experiment groups and the control group 1 [(t(27)= .510; p>0.05); (t (25) = .101; p>0.05); (t (27) = .412; p>0.05)], whereas there is a statistically significant difference between post-test achievement scores and retention scores of control group 2 in favor of post-test scores (t(27)= 3.126; p<0.05)"
