CHAPTER IV RESEARCH RESULT AND DISCUSSION

This study was true experimental research and it used quantitative data. It was quantitative because the numerical data were needed to explain the product. This chapter consists of two parts. The first section of this chapter deals with the presentation of the data analysis to see the effectiveness of the Comprehensive Teaching Technique CTT. The second section deals with the use of questionnaire discussion in order to support the analysis.

A. Test Validity

Before the instrument of test was used to get the data for this research, it was tried out to students. The number of students employed in the try out was 15 out of the students from control and experimental group. This was done to find the validity of the items test. The formula to count the validity is Biserial Correlation as follows: { } { } 2 2 2 2 xy r SU - NSU SC - NSC SU SC - NSCU = THE USE... R.

The result of the validity test shows that all test items are valid see the appendix. To measure the validity, the item test is valid if r xy r tabel . THE USE... R.

Because of r xy r tabel , so the test item number one is valid.
