II. Research Findings A. Data Description
According to the research methodology of this study, the writer collected the data by using pretest and postest. The test is given to 48
students which consist of 24 students of experimental class and 24 students of controlled class. To know the results of the test, the writer
makes the table of students’ score as follows:
