The research results showed that in Cycle I, Session 1, the average score was 63.5 and the mastery rate was 30%. In Cycle I, Session 2, the average score was 75 and the mastery rate was 75%. In Cycle II, Session 1, the average score was 65.5 and the mastery rate was 35%. In Cycle II, the second session had an average score of 78.5 and a mastery rate of 95%. In Cycle III, the first session had an average score of 62 and a mastery rate of 30%. In Cycle III, the second session had an average score of 79 and a mastery rate of 95%.
