a shows data for correct answers in comparison of education levels for different specialisations, and b shows data for correct answers in comparison of specialisations for different education levels. p values of the significant effects were evaluated with the Wilcoxon test: *p < 0.05, **p < 10−2, ***p < 10−3, ****p < 10−4, *****p < 10−6. Wilcoxon effect sizes for significant comparisons in (b): C&B vs. Pedagogy—0.36, C&B vs. Psychology—0.36, C&B vs. P&M&IT—0.21 (for myths, younger group); Pedagogy vs. P&M&IT—0.29, C&B vs. Psychology—0.35, Pedagogy vs. P&M&IT— 0.29 (for myths, older group); C&B vs. Pedagogy—0.38, Pedagogy vs. P&M&IT—0.26, P&M&IT vs. Psychology—0.25 and C&B vs. Psychology—0.36 (for facts, younger group).
