Table 1. Spearman correlations between evolution acceptance, genetics knowledge, and evolution knowledge.

All correlations are highly significant (p < .001). These pretests were done with data where students had answered all 3 preteaching questionnaires (n = 1,610). For the post-test scores, we again required all 3 assessments to be completed (n = 1,397). Raw data can be found in S1 and S2 Data.
