  1. At the 5% significance level, the data provides sufficient evidence to conclude that the mean of the post-test is higher than the mean of the pre-test with exception computational thinking domain that presented  a p > 0.05 (p = 0.065), so that there was no significant change between the pre-and post-test for this domain
