On the other hand, in the EG (SLFB_EC), the t-Student test for the difference between means has a value of \(-3.33\) with a significance threshold of 0.002 and degrees of freedom of 27, which means that the difference between the means is statistically significant, although

The d index (Cohen) is presented as follows: for the EG, (SRFB_EO) d = 0.61 and (SRFB_EC) d = 0.63, meaning that the effect size of the applied program is large; for CG, (SRFB_EO) d = 0.34 and (SRFB_EC) d = 0.35, meaning that the effect size of the applied program is medium. A detailed analysis of the results and the differences between the means within the control and experimental groups between the initial and final moments, revealed significant differences (Table 6). For the dependent samples _t_-test, a significant difference in performance was observed at SLFB_EC_IE and the FE for the EG, where \(p\) = 0.002. No significant difference was found for the same test in the CG, where \(p\) = 0.086. At SLFB_EO, no significant differences were observed for the EG (\(p\) = 0.058) or the CG (\(p\) = 0.258). At SLFB_EO and SLFB_EC, the d (Cohen) index is presented as follows: in the EG, (SLFB_EO) d = 0.36, where the effect size of the applied program is medium, and (SLFB_EC) d = 0.63, meaning the effect size of the applied program is large; in the CG, (SLFB_EO) d = 0.22 and (SLFB_EC) d = 0.35, meaning the effect size of the applied program is medium.
