Then, in a simple group of 180 people, they were randomly divided into experimental groups (non-governmental schools) and control groups (public schools). The experimental group was trained in a useful 45 minutes of art class (anthem and music) in one month, while the control group followed their daily schedule during this period and did not receive any educational intervention. After the training program, the questionnaire was administered to both groups again.
