The mean score after the activity was 25.6. The standard deviation before learning was 17.33, after learning was 7.16} and the t-stat (8.30) was greater than the t-critical one-tail (2.262). It’s  higher than the score before studying. When the scores were compared, the achievement after organizing the PICS Relational Game Activity was greater than before organizing the activity at a statistically significant level of .01.
