Sig. is higher than 0.05, it means that the variance of the experimental and control groups is not homogenous.

3.5.1.3. t-test Computation

The t-test is purposed to determine whether the means of two groups of score differ to a statistically significant degree Kranzler,1999. The independent t-test can be calculated by using SPSS 16.0 for windows and the independent t-test can be calculated after normality distribution and variance of homogenity test are fulfilled. The hypotheses used is as follow: H : There were no significance differences between the experimental and control groups. H 1 : There were significance differences between the experimental and control groups. The criteria of independent t-test test by using 5 level of significance p= 0,05, two tailed test are: If t obt t crit at 0,05 level, H is not rejected If t obt t crit at 0,05 level, H is rejected Dwi Undayasari, 2013 The Use of Role- Play i O e of Vocatio al Schools i Su eda g to I prove Stude ts’ Speaking Skill Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu The level of significant criterion for t-test stated that if t obt is lower than t crit , it means that there were no significance differences between the experimental and control groups. While if t obt is higher than t crit , it means that there were significance differences between the experimental and control groups.

3.5.1.4. The Effect Size

Effect size refers to effect of the influence of independent variable upon the dependent variable Coolidge, 2000. Coefficient correlation of effect size formula is as follow: In which: r = coefficient correlation t = the value of t obt df = the value of degree of freedom The t refers to the t obt from post-test data in the independent t- test and df = N-2. The scale of effect size: Table 3.4 Dwi Undayasari, 2013 The Use of Role- Play i O e of Vocatio al Schools i Su eda g to I prove Stude ts’ Speaking Skill Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia | repository.upi.edu | perpustakaan.upi.edu The Scale of Effect Size Effect Size r value Small .100 Medium .243 Large .371
