Based on the results of data analysis, it was found that the data of the posttest of the control class and the experimental class were normally distributed and homogeneous. iConsulted itcount with ittable at the significance level of 0.05 with dk=n1 + n2 -2 = 28 + 24 - 2= 50 obtained ttable = 1.675905. Because tcounti> ttabel 13.95 > 1.68, so this hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
