4.3 Computation between the Two Means.

After getting the scores, the computation was made. The first way to identify the significant difference between the experimental and control group were by comparing the mean of both group. Table 4.3 The score distribution of Post-test Student’s number Experimental Group Control Group 1 80 80 2 83 77 3 73 73 4 90 83 5 83 77 6 80 53 7 87 77 8 80 67 9 90 83 10 60 50 11 77 77 12 87 63 13 83 80 14 60 50 15 87 70 16 77 70 17 83 77 18 80 73 19 63 47 20 77 70 21 83 73 22 57 70 23 73 67 24 77 73 25 80 73 26 67 70 27 73 67 28 60 47 29 57 67 30 67 60 Total 2273 2056 Mean 75,78 68,56 54 After getting all the scores, the computation was made. The first way to know the significant difference of the experiment can be seen through the difference of the means. The difference between the two means was computed using the following formula as stated by Arikunto 2002:264: Xe ∑Xe Ne The mean of the experimental group on the posttest was: Xe ∑ N , , Whereas, the mean of the control group on the posttest was: Xc ∑Xc Nc , , From the calculation, the mean of the experiment group was 75, 78 and the mean of the control group was 68, 56; so the means of the two groups were different from each other. The mean of the experimental group was higher than the mean of the control group. However, it could not be concluded that the difference between the two means was significant. 55
