Uses of ANCOVA Uses of ANCOVA
Used when have two-group pre/post-test Used when have two-group pre/post-test design (comparing impact on two different design (comparing impact on two different interventions, taking before and after interventions, taking before and after measures for each group) measures for each group)
Research Question: Do males and females Research Question: Do males and females differ in their reading abilities (measured differ in their reading abilities (measured by reading post-test), following an by reading post-test), following an intervention, controlling for their initial intervention, controlling for their initial differences in reading (measured by differences in reading (measured by reading pre-test)?reading pre-test)?
