Since the mean score of the pre-test (8.29) was lower than the mean score of the post-test (12.17); it meant that this technique was effective. After submitting the data to a paired samples t-test, it was found that there was a significant difference in the mean scores between the pre-test and the post-test, t(df=23)= 10.13 at p=.000; it meant that the null hypothesis was rejected and alternative hypothesis was accepted.
