The type of this research is experimental research. The result of the research finds that the mean score of pre-test in experimental group is 61.4 and the mean score of post-test is 71.4. While the mean score of pre-test in control group is 59.3 and the mean score of post-test is 64.1. Then the value of t-test is 5.03 and the t-table is 2.000.
