Learning post-test. This test consists of 20 short answer open-ended questions that
assessed the students' learning. Their reliability analysis included these 20 questions and
Cronbach's alpha showed an acceptable internal consistency (α = .73). The questions were
corrected using a range of 0 to 1 with a partial score (0.5) by inter-rater agreement. Cohen's
Kappa (k) reported a substantial agreement (k = .74).
