The null hypothesis was that the experimental group would not make any improvement after the duration of the experiment. Data supported the null hypothesis indicating that the students did not make any significant growth during the experiment. Research should continue as the baseline data, group selection, and duration of the experiment were all hindered by the restrictions caused by the Covid-19 virus.27 pagesen-USThis work may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
