q2 · i1 · causal · r2

ANCOVA on post-measurement achievement for the same 120-student sample; the article reports a mean of 23.331 for females versus 22.753 for males and eta squared of 3.9%, which it describes as indicating "little impact".

"There is statistically significant differences due to gender at the significance level (0.05), (F) was (4.685) and statistically significant (0.032) and t he differences in favor of females, with a mean (23 .331) for females, While the means for males was (22.753)"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Gender — predictor: outcomes differ by group: a gap reflecting circumstances and treatment, not a cause
