The methodology applied was a non-experimental design, quantitative approach; bibliographic, documentary and field research; descriptive research level, the technique used was the survey and the instrument applied was a questionnaire; and the population surveyed was 49 students in sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth grades of EGB.
