q2 · i? · causal · r1

Paired-samples t test comparing pretest and posttest hypertext reading comprehension (three passages from www.agendaweb.org, 30 min) for the single experimental group of 30 upper-intermediate learners. The article reports "t (29) = -4.17, p = .000 (two-tailed)"; no effect size is printed.

"As shown in Table 2, there was a significant difference between the pretest ( M = 4.96, SD = 1.62) and posttest scores (M = 6.30, SD = 1.74), t (29) = -4.17, p = .000 (two-tailed)."
