q3 · i? · causal · r1

Pre-test/post-test control group experiment with 32 experimental and 38 control children. Independent t-test on post-test scores showed a significant difference favoring the experimental group, whose post-test mean was 13.53 versus 12.16 for controls; the mean difference increased from 0.81 at pre-test to 1.37 at post-test.

"As seen in Table 4, there is a significant difference in terms of 5 -6-year-old children’s final test scores in the experimental and control groups (t = 2.79, p<0.05)."
