Subclaims¶

q2 i? Pretest subscale comparisons showed no significant differences (e.g., analysis t=.51, p=0.609; problem solving t=.17, p=0.866), ruling out an initial advantage for the experimental group. → Mahmoud Kaddoura 2013

Table 3 reports pretest comparisons of the five CT subscales between TPS and Non-TPS groups using t tests and Mann-Whitney tests; all were non-significant (p values from 0.126 to 0.866), so the article states the experimental group's advantage "was ruled out".

"As table 3 revealed, no si gnificant differences were identified. Hence advantage of students from the experimental group was ruled out."
