The findings of the study showed that there are statistically significant differences between the means of the subjects' responses on the domains of the reflective thinking scale in the pre and post-tests in favor of the experimental group. The results also revealed that there are statistically significant differences among the means of the subjects' responses on the domains of self-regulated learning in the pre and post-tests in favor of the experimental group.
