Dependent samples t-test on the same scale for the control group (n=48) receiving paper-based instruction. The article reports a significant difference and concludes self-efficacy improved in the control group too.

"the control group writing self-efficacy pre-test mean score was 3.30, and the posttest mean score was 3.81. It was observed that there was a significant difference between these two scores [t(47) = 8.850; p < .05]"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Writing achievement decreased significantly in the control group but did not change significantly in the Facebook experimental group over the 14-week course — related
• Writing anxiety decreased significantly in both the Facebook experimental group and the control group — related
• Within the experimental group, self-efficacy rose significantly from pretest to posttest and follow-up, with no significant drop from posttest to follow-up — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
