Data Description RESEARCH FINDINGS
data has been normality distributed or not; the data are homogeneous or heterogeneous.
The writer used SPSS Statistic 18 to count the normality of each test. The test would be normal distribution if the result of calculation from SPSS Statistic
18, the number showed less than the result in Kolmogorov-Smirnov table with the number of sample n is 35.
These tests are valued using SPSS Statistic 18. The normality Using One- Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test results can be seen as bellow:

a. Test distribution is Normal. b. Calculated from data.
The normality calculation above used One-Sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test. From the table above, it is shown that the absolute difference D of KWL
Plus Experiment Class data is 0.136. It is much less that absolute difference in Kolmogorov-Smirnov table with the closest Kolmogorov-Smirnov critical points of
35 = 0.224. It means that the pre-test of experiment class data is normal. Meanwhile, the absolute difference of Jigsaw Controlled Class data is 0.130. I is
also much less than D-table with the closest Kolmogorov-Smirnov critical points
of 35 = 0.224. It can be conclude that the pre-test of controlled class is normal, too.

a. Lilliefors Significance Correction Besides using the normality test calculation of One-Sample Kolmogorov-
Smirnov Test the writer also using Lilliefors test. It shows that the normality is significant too. It is shown the absolute difference D in Lilliefors table of KWL
Plus Experiment Class data is 0.136 and the absolute different D in Lilliefors table of Jigsaw Controlled Class data is 0.130. Both absolute different D of
Experiment class data and the absolute different D of Controlled Class data are much less than the calculation Kolmogorov-Smirnov table with
critical points of 35 = 0.224.
