In the post-test, the mean score experimental group was 87,50, and the control group was 77,03. The result of statical computation of ANCOVA show that the significance is 000. It is less than 0.05 (0.015 < 0.05). Since the significance value was smaller than 0.05 statically, there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
