Finally, survey questionnaire is presented to experiment group. T-test and covariance analysis are used for data analysis. No significant difference found between the mean of two groups in pre-test (experiment 7.50 and control 8.04) but there is a significant difference in posttest (experiment 17.56 and control 12.57).
