The participants of the study were 60 Grade VI pupils, 30 placed on the control group and 30 on the experimental group. Based on the data gathered, the results showed that the pretest of both groups with 0.024 p.value exceeded at 0.05 level of significance was not rejected and it revealed that there were no significant differences in the mean pretest scores of the participants.
