The medical school is attempting to introduce case-based teaching to their student cohort.

The medical school is attempting to introduce case-based teaching to their student cohort. To investigate this, the university first delivered the module’s contents in a didactic manner, and a test was administered after the course. The same course was delivered to the same group of students as a case-based teaching module. The same test was administered to the students following the course. 

Which statistical test should be used to determine if there has been a significant change in the test results between the two teaching methods?
