The sample of the study consists of teachers working in six state secondary schools, which have the highest number of teachers among all secondary schools in the two central districts of a city and are allowed (n:446). Since schools were preferred as the randomization unit, three schools from six state secondary schools were determined as the experimental group and three schools as the control group by means of the random number generation software Research Randomizer.
