The results for each group were as follows:<br />

Nashold (Experimental): Pre – 6.54 Post – 13.00 Difference – 6.46<br />

Nashold (Control): Pre – 5.53 Post – 8.07 Difference – 2.53<br />

Differences between control group and intervention group pre and post test scores at Nashold School<br />

The figure above shows the change from pre to post test scores in both the<br />

experimental and the control group at Nashold. A two tailed, paired t-test (as<br />

previously described) was also performed for both groups. The results were as<br />

follows:<br />

Paired t-test comparing pre and post test scores:<br />

Nashold (Experimental) 0.0000156<br />

Nashold (Control) 0.0024928<br />

Clearly, the experimental group had a much higher post test score and positive<br />

difference between post and pre test scores than the control group. Thus, the p-<br />

value was much lower for the experimental group than the control group.<br />

Furthermore, 0/13 students from the experimental group recorded a lower score<br />

on the post test than their pre test, while 3/15 students from the control group<br />

recorded a lower score on their post test than their pre test.
