The researchers chose the sample intentionally, represented by first-grade students. Their percentage was (15.95%) (who numbered (90) students) , and the research sample was determined from Division (A) so that the number of the sample was (45) students, at a rate of (50%) of the total students in the first grade, in a deliberate manner. The sample was divided into an experimental group and a control group, represented by (20) students for each. A group and (5) students for the exploratory experiment.
