CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGAND INTERPRETATION
A. Research Finding
1. Data Description
The data were gained from the tests, they were pre-test and post-test to the students of VIII.A and VIII.B. Before going to the further calculation about the
data, the following are the descriptions of pre-test and post-test result from both experiment and controlled class:

The Table 4.1 above illustrated the students’ pre-test and post-test average
scores. The students’ average pre-test score from the class VIII.B as the experimental class was 40.06 and the average posttest score was 66.62. Whereas
the average gained score among pre-test and post-test scores were 24.56. The following are
some of the differences score from students’ pervious scores
pretest with students’ post-test scores. It is explained in the distribution
table of pre-test and post-test scores to see the frequency of the distribution of the score from both experiment and control class.
