Analysis of the Data

The data obtained were evaluated in the SPSS 14.00 package program. The Wilcoxon Marked Orders Test is used in order to compare the results before and after the application of the groups while performing the evaluation of the Success Test, Open-Ended Questions and Attitude Scales concerning both groups. The Mann Whitney U-test was used in order to compare the meaningfulness of the differences between the groups. Because the number of students in the classes which form the sample group of the study is below 30, the Wilcoxon Marked Orders Test and the Mann Whitney U-test were used in the analysis of the results.
