They arc low achievers who were distributed into equally - sized groups: an experimental group that underwent a 15 - session training program on a three - session weekly basis with each session lasting for 75 minutes.

A control group that received lectures not related to the training program.

Study tools were applied to both groups before and after completing the training program and after a follow - up period that lasted for four weeks after the completion of the program.
