Research results revealed that the average N-Gain in try-out I was 0.59, and the average N-Gain in try-out II was 0.61, each of which was in the moderate category. Moreover, in try-out I, the mean score of the post-test was 22.15, which was higher than and significantly different from the mean score of the pre-test, which was 10.66.
