q2 · i? · causal · r1

Quasi-experimental pre/post study of the RPQ group (N=91) using two 5-point Likert exploratory questions, analyzed with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test; the article reports "an overall positive shift of 11.0%" for logical thinking and 20.9% for creative thinking.

"After the project, both the females (7.1%) and the males (17.1%) of the RPQ show positive shifts for the first exploratory question, resulting in an overall positive shift of 11.0% (Table 2)."
