Besides, in the control group, the lowest score was 31 and the highest score was 49, while in the post-test, the lowest score was 43 and the highest score was 65. The Mean scores obtained by the experimental group in pre-test and post-test were 47.8 and 67, with a standard deviation of 8.71 and 7.394. The mean score obtained by the control group in the pre-test and post-test was 6.629 and 5.244.
