Subclaims¶

q2 i? Pretest means were similar in the experimental class (66.03) and the control class (67.19), which the authors take as equal initial ability. → Kusumawarti 2020

Descriptive analysis of pretest scores (Table 1) in the quasi-experimental study: experimental class mean 66.03 (SD 3.29, n=61), control class mean 67.19 (SD 3.83, n=53). The equivalence statement is descriptive; no statistical test of pretest differences is reported.

"the average score of the pretest is not much different, namely in the experimental class 66.03 and the control class 67.19. Pretest results show that the class used in this study has the same initial ability."
