4.2 Normality and Homogeneity

After the data were gathered, the normality and the homogeneity should be checked in order to know if the data could be analyzed.

4.2.1 Normality

Before the t-test computation, the writer had to make sure that the data were normal.

It was found that the X 2 of pretest and posttest of experimental group was 0.965 and 3.193 and the X 2 of pretest and posttest of control group was 3.361 and 1.920. Then, the results were consulted with critical value of X 2 αdk with α = 0.05 and dk = 3, whose result is 7.815. Since the value of X 2 αdk of experimental and controlled group were lower than 7.81, the data were considered to be normally distributed. The computation of normality can be seen in Appendices 8,9,13 and 14.

4.2.2 Homogeneity

Homogeneity is important to check whether the data of each group are homogeny or not. The computation of homogeneity goes as follow: Use the formula stated above, the homogeneity of pretest of experimental and controlled group is computed as follow: F = 1.0000 The result was consulted with the value of F table with dk numerator v 1 = 27-1 = 26, dk numerator v 2 = 27-1 = 26 , and α = 0.05, squared to v 1 = 27 and v 2 = 27 is 2.19. Because the F 1.81 2.19, then the data were considered to be homogeny. While the homogeneity of posttest of both groups is computed as follow: F = 2.0072 The result was consulted with the value of F table with dk numerator v 1 = 27-1 = 26, dk numerator v 2 = 27-1 = 26 , and α = 0.05, squared to v 1 = 27and v 2 = 27 is 2.194. Because the F 1.74 2.194, then the data were considered to be homogeny. The computation of homogeneity can be seen in Appendices 15 and 16.
