Authors(2) :-Mahasin Gad Alla Mohamed, Eman El sayed El anwar

A Systematic random sample of (30) intermediate school subjects aged (12-14) was chosen. The study conducted in the academic year 2016. An educational film designed by the researchers was used. Pre- and post-tests were used for collecting data. The film contained information, pictures, and movies regarding comprehensive khat knowledge. Twenty items questionnaire before and after the film show, with the same set of questions were used. The questionnaire consists of 20 questions. Q (1-17) answered by either "true" or "false" whereas Q (18-20) are multiple-choice questions. The data analyzed with SPSS personal computer program. Appropriate statistics for description (frequencies, percent, means, standard deviations, and t-test) were used. The results showed that t-test value for the pre-test is smaller than the level of significance Alpha. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) rejected. Rejection of the null hypothesis indicates that the difference is significant in favor of the post-test.
