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).
