Randomization description
From the studied population, 90 students will be selected in 3 groups of 30 people in the form of purposeful sampling and will be randomly placed in two experimental groups and one control group. In this way, first among the five districts, the district with the lowest academic achievement average will be selected, and then the annual average of the schools of that district will be taken, and three schools with the lowest average will be selected from among these schools. After selecting these three schools, the scores of the students in each school will be sorted from the lowest to the highest, and 30 students from each school with the lowest academic achievement average will be selected as a group. Therefore, in total, three research groups were formed in 3 selected schools, consisting of students with the lowest academic performance in their classes, and then 2 groups were randomly selected as experimental groups and one group was replaced as a control group in the three groups. Explaining that in estimating the sample size, Kerlinger's recommendations were used, that for experimental designs, random selection of 30 samples for each group can guarantee the external validity of the research findings.
