Results of the nonparametric Wilcoxon ranks test between presenter pre- and postsurveys in Corpus Christi Neuroscience Expositions
| Survey questions | Expositions |
|
|---|---|---|
| Corpus Christi I | Corpus Christi II | |
| 1. Your skills in presenting neuroscience knowledge to these children | Z = −2.26 | Z = −2.30 |
| p = 0.024a | p = 0.022a | |
| 2. The interest level of these children in neuroscience | Z = −2.11 | Z = −2.90 |
| p = 0.035a | p = 0.004a | |
| 3. The interest level of these children in your presentation | Z = −2.30 | Z = −3.18 |
| p = 0.003a | p = 0.001a | |
| 4. How difficult was it for you to present your project to these children? | Z = −2.95 | Z = −1.15 |
| p = 0.003a | p = 0.249 | |
| 5. How successful do you think your project was? | Z = −2.65 | Z = −1.73 |
| p = 0.008a | p = 0.083 | |
| Summed scores of presenters' presentation skills | Z = −3.42 | Z = −2.33 |
| p = 0.001a | p = 0.020a | |
| Summed scores of children's interest in neuroscience | Z = −2.76 | Z = −3.40 |
| p = 0.006a | p = 0.001a | |
The exact Z value and p value of the Wilcoxon Ranks test are displayed.
a Indicates the difference reached a significant level (p < 0.05).
