The design of this study utilized quantitative methods through quasiexperimental treatment and control groups. This study involved 91 students denotes as sample at a Slim River Vocational College in Perak, Malaysia. The quasi-experiments were used in the study as this method capable to show the effect of the use of variables over two pre and post time periods.
