B. Normality and Homogeneity Test

Before analyzing the data using inferential analysis, normality and homogeneity test must be done. The normality test is to know that the sample is in normal distribution and the homogeneity test is to know t hat the data are homogeneous. 1. Normality Test The sample is in normal distribution if L o L-obtained is lower than L t L- table at the level of significance  = 0.05. L stands for Lilliefors. Table 10. The Normality Test No Data The Number of Sample L- obtained L o L-table L t Alfa  Distribution of Population 1 A 1 B 1 11 0.114 0.249 0.05 Normal 2 A 1 B 2 11 0.112 0.249 0.05 Normal 3 A 2 B 1 11 0.182 0.249 0.05 Normal 4 A 2 B 2 11 0.090 0.249 0.05 Normal 5 A 1 22 0.163 0.190 0.05 Normal 6 A 2 22 0.080 0.190 0.05 Normal 7 B 1 22 0.126 0.190 0.05 Normal 8 B 2 22 0.080 0.190 0.05 Normal 2. Homogeneity Test Homogeneity test is done to know that the data are homogenous. If 77 o 2 is lower than  t 2 0.05 , it can be concluded that the data are homogeneous. Table 11. The Homogeneity Test Sample df 1df s i 2 log s i 2 df log s i 2 1 2 3 4 10 10 10 10 0.1 0.1 0.1 0.1 16.05 27.56 17.36 15.82 1.206 1.440 1.240 1.199 12.06 14.40 12.40 11.99 40 0.4 50.85 63  2 = 2.3026{B –  log S i x n-1} = 2.3026 51.33 – 50.85 = 1.12 Based on the result of the calculation above, it can be seen that the  o 2 1.12 is lower than  t 2 at the level of significance  5 = 7.81.  o 2  t 2 1.12 7.81, so the data are homogeneous.

C. Hypothesis Test

Hypothesis test can be done after the results of normality and homogeneity test are fulfilled. The test is done by using multifactor analysis of variance 2 x 2. H o is rejected if F o F t . It means that there is a significant difference and there is an interaction effect. If H o is rejected, the analysis is continued to know which group is better using Tukey test. The multifactor analysis of variance 2 x 2 and Tukey test are described as the following: 1. Summary of a 2 x 2 M ultifactor Analysis of Variance Table 12. M ultifactor Analysis of Variance Source of Variance SS df M S F o F t 0.05 F t 0.01 Between columns 209.455 1 209.455 10.91 4.08 7.31 Between rows 704.000 1 704.000 36.67 4.08 7.31 Columns by rows interaction 1443.273 1 1443.273 75.17 4.08 7.31 Between groups 2356.727 3 785.576 - - - Within groups 768.000 40 19.200 - - - Total 3124.727 43 - - - - 64 The table shows that: a. Because F o between columns 10.91 is higher than F t at the level of significance α = 0.05 4.08 and F t at the level of significance α = 0.01 7.31, the difference between columns is significant. It can be concluded that teaching methods differ significantly from one another in their effect on the performance of the subjects in the exp eriment. b. Because F o between rows 36.67 is higher than F t at the level of significance α = 0.05 4.08 and F t at the level of significance α = 0.01 7.31, the difference between rows is significant. It can be concluded that students having high self-esteem and those having low self-esteem are significantly different in their reading skill. c. Because F o interaction 75.17 is higher than F t at the level of significance α = 0.05 4.08 and F t at the level of significance α = 0.01 7.31, there is an interaction effect between teaching methods and the degree of self-esteem toward students’ reading skill. It means that the effect of teaching methods on reading skill depends on the degree of self- esteem. 2. Summary of Tukey Test The finding of q is found by dividing the difference between the means by the square root of the ratio of the within group variation and the sample size. Table 13. Summary of Tukey Test Between Groups q o q t 0.05 q t 0.01 Significance M eaning A 1 – A 2 4.67 2.95 4.02 Significant A 1 A 2 A 1 B 1 – A 2 B 1 11.97 3.11 4.39 Significant A 1 B 1 A 2 B 1 A 2 B 2 – A 1 B 2 5.37 3.11 4.39 Significant A 2 B 2 A 1 B 2 B 1 – B 2 8.56 2.95 4.02 Significant B 1 B 2 65 a. Because q o between A 1 and A 2 4.67 is higher than q t at the level of significance α = 0.05 2.95 and q t at the level of significance α = 0.01 4.02, Teams-Games-Tournament differs significantly from the lecture method for teaching reading. The mean score of students who are taught by using Teams-Games-Tournament 69.91 is higher than that of those who are taught by using lecture 65.55, so Teams- Games-Tournament is more effective than the lecture method for teaching reading. b. Because q o between A 1 B 1 and A 2 B 1 11.97 is higher than q t at the level of significance α = 0.05 3.11 and q t at the level of significance α = 0.01 4.39, Teams-Games-Tournament differs significantly from the lecture method to teach reading for students having high self-esteem. The mean score of students having high self-esteem who are taught by using Teams-Games-Tournament 79.64 is higher than that of those who are taught by using lecture 63.82, so Teams-Games-Tournament is more effective than lecture method to teach reading for students having high self-esteem. c. Because q o between A 1 B 2 and A 2 B 2 5.37 is higher than q t at the level of significance α = 0.05 3.11 and q t at the level of significance α = 0.01 4.39, lecture method differs significantly from Teams-Games- Tournament to teach reading for students having low self-esteem. The mean score of students having low self-esteem who are taught by using lecture 67.27 is higher than that of those who are taught by using Teams-Games-Tournament 60.18, so lecture is more effective than Teams-Games-Tournament to teach reading for students having low self-esteem. d. Because q o between B 1 and B 2 8.56 is higher than q t at the level of significance  = 0.05 2.95 and q t at the level of significance  = 0.01 4.02, students having high self-esteem differ significantly from those having low self-esteem in their reading test. The mean score of students having high self-esteem 71.73 is higher than that of those 66 having low self-esteem 63.73, so students having high self-esteem have better reading skill than those having low self-esteem.
