There is a statistically significant difference at the level of (0.01) between the average scores of the control group students and the experimental group for the scale of decision-making capacity as a whole and for each sub-skill separately in favor of the experimental group. There is a statistically significant correlation between the scores of the experimental group students in the analytical thinking skills test and their scores in the decision-making capacity scale.
