The result proved that there was an effect between pretest and post-test. It could be seen from the average score of pre-test in the experimental group was 76.81 and control group was 79.03. After got the treatment, the average score of post-test in experimental group was 86.39 and control group was 80.14. It was indicated by the result of independent t-test computation result of post-test score showed that t count more than the t table (6.274 > 1.994).
