ParticipantThe questions provided in the optional activity were as follows
1. Did students improve from pre to post test?
There was an improvement between pre-test and post-test. The mean pretest score was 60.7 and the post test was 67.9. The pre and post test scores were highly correlated r=0.978 suggesting consistency in student performance. The difference in scores was statistically significant confirming that the outcome was not up to chance.
2. Are gender differences in test performance statistically significant?
There are no significant difference in test scores based on gender. While female students had slightly higher mean scores. The p-values indicate that gender did not have a significant impact on scores
3. Which study method led to the highest performance? This test required recoding of study methods before the one way ANOVA could be completed.
The Tukey post hoc test helps to identify which specific study methods significantly differ in their impact on post test scores
4. How can these results be applied in designing student support strategies?
Your Tukey results can be used to design targeted student support strategies such as personalized study plans, curriculum adjustments, tutoring and intervention programs, technology integration
