The results of t-test statistical data analysis revealed that in the pre-test, the average score gained by the students was 54, while in the post-test, the students obtained the average score of 74.73. Additionally, the calculation of the data showed that in the significance level of 0.05, tcalwas 7.0 with ttableof 1.701, or 7.0 > 1.701.
