Normality of Pre-test and Post-test
Furthermore the results of t-test with SPSS are presented in tables below:

The tables above show the result of t-test for post-test score. Table 4.7 describes the mean, standard deviation, and standard error of mean. The other
table shows the result of independent sample test analyzed using SPSS. Based on table 4.8 sig. 2 tailed of post-test was 0.037 p=0.037 and
was 2.125. I means that p0.05 or
pα. Moreover, the table also showed that df degree of freedom was 68. The value of
with df 68 was 1.668. Then was
2.125, it means that 1.6682.125. Therefore null hypothesis was
rejected and alternative hypothesis was accepted. In other words there was significant effect of using TGT on teaching reading descriptive text.
Furthermore, the researcher also use gained score data in order to know significant effect of using TGT on teaching reading descriptive text. Gained score
is the score of progress after classes are given the treatment. It takes from score of post-test minus score of pre-test. The result of t-test from gained score is as
bellow:

Based on table 4.10 sig. 2 tailed of post-test was 0.002 p = 0.002. It means that p 0.05 or p
α. Moreover, the table also showed that df degree of freedom was 68. The value of
with df 68 was 1.668. Then was
3.297, it means that 1.668 3.297. Therefore null hypothesis
was rejected and alternative hypothesis was accepted. This result is supported the result of t-test based on post test score. In other words, the result approve that
there was significant effect of using TGT on teaching reading descriptive text.
