The result showed that there is a positive significant difference of the mean score of CMI between pre-test (11.1563) and post-test (15.6250) of the experimental group, t= -4.874 (p= 0.00 < 0.05). The result also showed that there is a significant positive difference in the mean score of TSCS between pre-test (232.9000) and the post-test (241.5667) of the experimental group, t= -3.373 (p= 0.002 < 0.05).
