Randomization description
The randomization method in this study, due to the known number of students and their demographic information, will be simple (lottery-based). In this method, students are randomly selected from a list of names that are numbered and prepared for this purpose. The researcher assigns a unique number to each student. The researcher writes down the number of each student on a small piece of paper. Then, the papers are placed into a bag or container and shuffled. Subsequently, the papers are drawn one by one, the numbers are recorded, and this process continues until the sample size is reached. The researcher also selects the control and intervention groups using this probabilistic method.
