The test consist of multiple choices items. Statiscal calculation gave 53,96 as the mean score of pre-test and 75,34 as the mean score of post-test in experimental class. Meanwhile, the mean score of pre-test and post-test in control class was 53,69 and 67,61. So, there was improvement from the pre-test and post-test as many of 22,38 in the experimental class and in the control class was 13,92. Furthermore, the data was analyzed by using t-test. Based on the computation, test result 3,840 and the table was 1,680. It means that t-test result was higher than t-table ( 3,840 >1,680).
