In the post test subscale and total means scores of FROGS in the experimental group were higher than in the control group and the differences between them were found to be statistically significant (p b 0.05). In the experimental group pretest and post-test subscale and total means scores of FR0GS was determined to be statistically significant (p b 0.05).
