*All comparisons between and among groups done using unpaired ttests

To determine change scores and subsequently make comparisons through ANCOVA, only those individuals who answered both pre- and post-questions were included in the analysis

Skills were rated on a 6-point scale, where 0 = none, 1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = very good, and 5 = excellent

§Level of enjoyment was assessed using a 4-point scale, where 0 = none, 1 = a little, 2 = moderate amount, 3 = a lot
