After collecting and calculating the data, the researcher found that the mean score of pre-test and post-test for the experimental group were 58.4 and 72, while for the control group were 53 and 61.8. And in testing the hypothesis, the researcher used the t-test formula. The researcher found that t-test was 68.5 and t-table in significant rank 0.05 (5%) was 1.6716.
