Student's test for independent samples.

SD: Standard deviation

CI95%: 95% confidence interval

LL: Lower limit of the 95% confidence interval

UL: Upper limit of the 95% confidence interval

Comparison of student gender shows statistically significant differences in the total ACRA score, in Cognitive Strategies and Learning Control and in Learning Support Strategies, with females scoring higher. No statistical difference is observed in Study Habits.
