showed that all the variables tested there are an increase in post training scores,
solely based on mean and deviation, compared to pre intervention. The results A
two-tailed independent samples t-test was used to compare the mean difference in
overall score between pre intervention and post intervention (n = 100). The Type I
error rate was set at alpha = 0.05. The results showed the average overall mean
score is less in pre intervention (M = 3.311, SD = 1.7485) than for post intervention
(M = 11.556, SD = 0.5647), t(119,43) = 44.873, p = .000.

adolescent's and worker's limited prior knowledge, it appears to be highly effective.
