I have the following set up:

One group (males, females)
One dependent variable (test scores), but tested pre and post tutoring.

Would this be a repeated measures design?

It can be analyzed that way, with the two periods.

The two periods are pre-tutor score and post-tutor scores and
it has only ONE variable, of the "difference" (improvement).

Depending on design, the "improvement" can be effectively
measured as the raw change score or difference; the regressed
change score (in the ANCOVA); or the simple outcome score
(rarely).





What would this be called (i.e., One-way ANOVA with repeated measures,
Two-way, etc.)?

For Pre-Post, the testing usually assumes that the group means do
not differ at Pre;

Why? Where did you get that?

That is sound advice which is offered in every course or text in
experimental design. Bob is apparently over his head here.




and the efficient test is usually the one-way
ANCOVA, using the Pre as covariate.

That's just a simple T-test for two independent groups on the
DIFFERENCE of the pre-and-post scores. Freshman/sophomore
stuff, Richard.

Simple change is *not* the same as regressed change.
Reef Fish Bob seems to have missed a course.


jp, get you an elementary testbook on testing means.

That may save you much time in unlearning some bad advice you
get from these newsgroups.

For the repeated measures, it is "one-way" ANOVA with repeated
measures.

In general, a repeated-measures analysis with several
periods might have a few 'missings' and you could do
the closest thing to the same analysis by doing a two-way
ANOVA with Period and Subject (or ID) as the factors.
