q2 i? Post-intervention attitude scale scores showed no statistically significant difference between the EG and CG (t(58)=1.70, p=.093). → Çakıroğlu 2014

q2 · i? · causal · r2

In the quasi-experimental comparison, the Mathematics Attitude Questionnaire (38 items, five-point Likert) was administered before and after the six-week project period. The independent t-test on post-attitude scores found no significant difference between groups; Table 5 reports t(58)=1.70, p=.093.

"Also, after the intervention, no significant difference occurred among the EG and the CG [ t(58) = 1.70, p <.05]."
