The data was analyzed by using t-test formula. The data analysis of post-test showed that score of the students in the experimental class was significantly higher than that score of students in control class at the level of significance 5% with dk (n1 + n2 – 2) = 72. Mean score was gotten in the experimental is score 76,84, highest score is 85 and smallest score is 60. While, mean score was gotten in the control class is72,12, highest score is 85 and smallest scorre is 60. The t-count of observation is 1,88 while the t-table is 1,66.
