q3 i? No dimension of the SACQ or MSSCWS post-test showed a significant difference between experimental and control groups. → Puttaert 2025

Evidence¶

Puttaert 2025¶

Puttaert, N., Dachet, D., Baye, A., Quertemont, E., Leduc, L., Nyssen, A.-S., & Verpoorten, D. (2025). Effects of SI-PASS on a high-risk course – A randomized controlled trial. Learning and Instruction, 95, 102042. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.learninstruc.2024.102042

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Post-test comparison on the adapted French SACQ and MSSCWS dimensions (performance, environment, social adjustment, application, attachment, affects, climate, somatization) between 86 experimental and 74 control students. "No p value reaches significance level" across all eight dimensions.

"Table 5 displays the effect sizes of all dimensions in the post-test when comparing the two groups. No p value reaches significance level, thus failing to reject the null hypothesis."
