The data obtained from the students was analysed via the SPSS. For the pre-test, reliability and validity analysis was done. And independent samples t-test was also used to determine whether differences in academic satisfaction of two groups. At second stage, structural and convergent validity of the data have revealed with the factor analysis. Then, correlation analysis and regression analysis were used.
