The students’ achievements were obtained by administering the test and the scores of the two groups were compared and processed by applying t-test at the significance level of a = 0.05 with two-tailed test. It is found that the t-obs value is 2.764 exceeding or being greater than that of the t-tab value of 2.00 (2.764>2.000) where the Ho is rejected implying that the Ha is accepted verifying that learning the lecture of DA is significantly more effective by using metaphorically-based materials than by applying conventional materials or lecturing.]]>
