The study also revealed that the treatment group's students comprehended the material being taught to them. Students in the treatment group were able to give the right answers, give examples to back their responses, and only share their experiences if they were relevant to the answer, they gave during the evaluation of what they had been taught. The control group could not have been compared to this.
