This research took 36 students as sample. The results reveal that the mean for the pre-test and post-tests is (-43.750), the standard deviation is (27.318), and the standard error mean is (4.553). The t-test result was (-9.609), with a df of 35 and a significance level of 0.000. The t-test result demonstrates that the significant value in the computation is 0.000 lower than 0.05.
