The respondents were the 100 Grade 7 learners using a purposive sampling technique and a quasi-experimental research design. The instrument used in gathering the data was a researcher-made instrument employing statistical tools, such as mean, standard deviation, t-test, and f-test as well as regression analysis in analyzing the data.
