An independent samples t-test indicated that there was no statistically significant difference in pre-test scores between the experimental group (M = 9.92, SD = 2.65) and the control group (M = 10.14, SD = 2.40), t(79) = -0.39, p = .697, d = -0.09. This result suggests that both groups had comparable performance levels prior to the intervention.
