Subclaims¶

q2 i? There was a significant location-by-treatment interaction in reading comprehension (F = 9.119, p < 0.05), with significant main effects of location (F = 8.736) and treatment (F = 164.380). → Akinwumi 2017

Evidence¶

Akinwumi 2017¶

Akinwumi, J. O. (2017). Effects of Gender and School Location on the Ekiti State Secondary Schools Students' Achievement in Reading Comprehension in English Language. Journal of Education and Practice, 8(5). https://eric.ed.gov/?id=EJ1133080

q2 · i? · causal · r2

A 2 x 3 ANCOVA of reading comprehension by school location and treatment in the 270-student quasi-experiment. The location-by-group interaction was significant ("F = 9.119, p < 0.05"), as were the location and treatment main effects.

"Table 3 revealed that there was a significant difference in the achievement of students in rural and urban areas in reading comprehension between the experimental and control groups (F = 9.119, p < 0.05). The null hypothesis was rejected."
