Three paired samples t-tests (Table 2) were used to make post hoc comparisons between the means. The Bonferroni correction to α was applied, using a 0.017 level of significance. The first paired samples t-test indicated that there was a significant difference in the scores for PIMA ISLLC 2 responses (M = 3.47, p = 0.001) and USA ISLLC 1 responses (M = 3.71, p = 0.023). There was no significant difference in the scores for PIMA ISLLC 2 responses (M = 3.47, p = 0.783) and ISA ISLLC 2 responses (M = 3.50, p = 0.783) or for USA responses (M = 3.71, p = 0.033) and ISA responses (M = 3.50, p = 0.033). The post hoc analysis revealed a significant difference only in responses between the mentors and the university supervisors under ISLLC Standard 2.

General linear model comparing responses for isllc standard 4

The analysis of ISLLC Standard 4 responses did reveal that sphericity of the covariance matrix could be assumed through Mauchly’s Test of Sphericity. As such, a univariate test was used to analyze the within subjects effect and test the ANOVA null hypothesis. Results of the univariate test indicated a significant difference of less than .05 ( p = .002). The null hypothesis was rejected and paired t-tests were run as a post hoc analysis.

The post hoc analysis of ISLLC standard 4 (Table 3) revealed a significant difference in responses between the mentors (M = 3.36, p = 0.000) and the university supervisors (M = 3.72, p = 0.000), as well as a significant difference in responses between the university supervisors (M = 3.72, p = 0.012) and the students (M = 3.42, p = 0.012), with Bonferroni correction applied to α at 0.017. No significant difference was noted in the scores for mentor responses (M = 3.36, p = 0.591) and student self assessment responses (M = 3.42, p = 0.591).

General linear model comparing responses for isllc standard 5

In the analysis of ISLLC Standard 5 responses, results of Mauchly’s Test of Sphericity on the covariance matrix indicated a significant difference of less than 0.05 ( p = .001). Sphericity could not be assumed for this standard either, and multivariate testing was once again needed. Results from the multivariate test using Wilks’ Lambda under ISLLC Standard 5 revealed a level of significance less than 0.05 (p = .017) so the null hypothesis was rejected and paired t- tests were then used as a post hoc analysis.

The paired samples tests comparison of means between mentor responses (M = 3.73, p = 0.142) and university supervisor responses (M = 3.84, p = 0.142) as well as between mentors (M = 3.73, p = 0.100) and student self assessments (M = 3.53, p = 0.100) for ISLLC standard 5 demonstrated no significant differences. The responses did reveal a significant difference in the scores for university supervisors (M = 3.84, p = 0.006) and student self assessments (M = 3.53, p = 0.006).
