q2 · i? · causal · r2

Quasi-experimental non-randomised pretest–posttest study with two intact Pre-Intermediate PYP classes (31 experimental, 30 control) taught for seven weeks; independent samples t-test on a 46-item six-point Likert motivation questionnaire (α = 0.911) showed the experimental group mean "(3.64) is higher than the mean score of the control group (3.40)".

"The mean score of the experimental group (3.64) is higher than the mean score of the control group (3.40). The difference is significant at 0.05 level (p=0.01<0.05)"
