5 students selected as the research subject had been used in this research. A test instrument designed with multiple choice and matching items had been used to collect the primary data, while observation had been conducted to collect the secondary data of the research. The technique of data analysis used was non-parametric statistics with Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test Analysis since the number of the research subject was less than 30. The data analysis from pretest and posttest shows that the value of Zcounted is -2.032 with probability (P) 0.042. Thus, the value of probability from Z-counted is lower than the wrong probability 5% (0.042 < 0.05) which can be stated as a significant result. Moreover, this significant result was
