To equalize the members of groups pre-test were done, and reliability was calculated through Cronbach's alpha 0.84. The learning method for three consecutive weeks. First, the post-test was conducted after a week and then after a month of training. Results were analyzed by independent samples t-test and paired-sample t-test.
