Argumentative Writing Skill Data

Furthermore, the linearity and normality tests are crucial to decide whether parameter statistic or non-parameter statistic used in this study. In this study, the parameter statistic is used to calculate the data. Therefore, as the requirements in the parameter statistic in correlation research, the linearity and normality distributions of the data have to be examined first. The explanation of tests of linearity and normality distribution are presented as follow: a. Test of Linearity The linearity of critical thinking skill and argumentative writing skill data are analyzed by using SPSS software and presented using ANOVA Table. The result of the analysis is represented in the table below: Table 4.3 Data Linearity Analysis Table 4.3 above reveals the linearity distribution of the data of both critical thinking skill and argumentative writing skill. It results that the linearity data is in the significance of 0.00. It is lower than the level of significance 0.05 which the value is 4.05 0.00 4.05. Because the linearity value is lower than the level in significance of 0.05, it means that both of the data have linear distribution; therefore, parameter statistic is used in this study.

Test of Normality The normality test was conducted using SPSS software. The normality test is conducted in order to know whether the populations from which the samples are taken are normally distributed or not. It is important because normal data is an underlying assumption in parametric testing. The result of normality test is presented as follow: Table 4.4 Normality Data Analysis Kolmogorov-Smirnov a Shapiro-Wilk Statistic df Sig. Statistic df Sig. Critical Thinking Skill .099 35 .272 .966 35 .351 Argumentative Writing Skill .083 35 .272 .980 35 .765 . This is a lower bound of the true significance. a. Lilliefors Significance Correction From Table 4.4 above, it shows that the Kolmogorov- Smirnov normality test results are .272 for variable Y and .272 for variable X. Meanwhile, the normality test using Shapiro-Wilk is .765 for variable Y and .351 for variable X. From the results described above, it can be concluded that the data of both critical thinking skill and argumentative writing skill of the twelfth grade students of SMA Kharisma Bangsa are normally distributed. It can be seen from the significant results from both Kolmogorov- Simonov and Shapiro-Wilk which are higher than the result L table in the significance of 0.05 which the value is 0.224 .272 0.224, .765 0.224, .351 0.224. c. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Test Due to the fact that both of the data critical thinking skill and argumentative writing skill tend to be linear and normally distributed, the parametric statistic that is used in this study is Pearson Product Moment. It is used to find out the correlation coefficient between two variables. The final score of variables X and Y are presented in the following table: Table 4.5 The Final Score of Critical Thinking and Argumentative Writing No. Participants X Y X2 Y2 XY 1. 1 65 77 4225 5929 5005 2. 2 67.5 75 4556.25 5625 5062.5 3. 3 70 73.5 4900 5402.25 5145 4. 4 77.5 77.5 6006.25 6006.25 6006.25 5. 5 80 81 6400 6561 6480 6. 6 82.5 81.5 6806.25 6642.25 6723.75 7. 7 82.5 70.5 6806.25 4970.25 5816.25 8. 8 70 75 4900 5625 5250 9. 9 85 83.5 7225 6972.25 7097.5 10. 10 65 72.5 4225 5256.25 4712.5 11. 11 72.5 75.5 5256.25 5700.25 5473.75 12. 12 82.5 83 6806.25 6889 6847.5 13. 13 77.5 68 6006.25 4624 5270 14. 14 70 81.5 4900 6642.25 5705 15. 15 85 83 7225 6889 7055 16. 16 62.5 73.5 3906.25 5402.25 4593.75 17. 17 55 67.5 3025 4556.25 3712.5 18. 18 67.5 69.5 4556.25 4830.25 4691.25 19. 19 70 83.5 4900 6972.25 5845 20. 20 75 64.5 5625 4160.25 4837.5 21. 21 57.5 72.5 3306.25 5256.25 4168.75 22. 22 92.5 84.5 8556.25 7140.25 7816.25 23. 23 77.5 74.5 6006.25 5550.25 5773.75 24. 24 92.5 81.5 8556.25 6642.25 7538.75
