There were five sub courses under PEC that were analyzed in this study. The analysis found that, only students’ achievement in three courses of PEC showed significant correlation with their achievement in TP with correlation indexes in a range of .046 < r < .088 at p ≤ .05. It showed that there was a weak significant correlation between students’ achievement in PEC and the students’ achievement in TP. Students’ achi.....
