G. Trustworthiness of the Research
1. Normality Test
Before calculating the value of t-test using parametric statistics to measure hypothesis, the writer had to analyze the normality and homogeneity of the data.
The  calculation  of  normality  was  needed  to  know  whether  the  data  has  been normally  distributed  or  not.  The  writer  used  SPSS  v.22  by  looking  at  the
Lilliefors formula to test the normality. In this formula, the data was transformed into the basic value. The maximum dispute T got from the calculation must be
in  absolute  value  +.  The  result  of  normality  can  be  seen  by  comparing  the value of T
max
to T
table
. The criterion of hypothesis is:
H

: T
max

2. Homogeneity Test
Then, after getting the normality of the data, the next step was calculating the homogeneity of data. The purpose of this calculation was to see whether the
data in both classes were homogenous or not. The criteria of the test:
α = 0.05 H
: F
1- αn1-1
F  F
12α n1-1n2-1
H

: F  F
12α v1,v2
H. Technique of Data Analysis
To  know  the  effectiveness  of  story  mapping  technique  in  reading comprehension,  the  writer  used  statistics  analysis  with  the  formula  of  t-test  to
determine the final calculation. It is to measure the significance of the mean post-
test  scores  of  the  experimental  class  and  control  class.  The  writer  calculated  the data by using t-test formula. The formula of t-test as follows:

The process of t-test is as follow:

1.  Determining mean of variable X Experimental Class, with formula:
2.  Determining mean of variable Y Control Class, with formula:
3.  Determining standard of deviation  of variable X, with formula:
√
4.  Determining standard of deviation  of variable Y, with formula:
√
5.  Determining standard error of mean variable X, with formula:
√
6.  Determining standard error of mean variable Y, with formula:
√
