The average pre-test of the experimental class is 52.0833 and the post-test of the experimental class is 88.7500 so that in the experimental class there is an increase. The average pre-test value of the control class is 37.4000 and the post-test of the control class is 76.9000 so that in the control class there is an increase. The highest score in the post-test of the experimental class was 100 and the lowest score in the post-test of the experimental class was 80. The highest score in the post-test of the control class was 82.5 and the lowest score in the post-test of the control class was 65.
