B. Normality and Homogeneity Test

1. Normality Test a. Normality test of scores of the students who were taught using process approach A ฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores who were taught using the process approach, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.1234. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number n = 28 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.161. Because L o was lower than L t or L o 0.1234 L t 0.161, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. b. Normality test of scores of the students who were taught using product approach A ฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores who were taught using product approach, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.1311. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number n = 28 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.161. Because L o was lower than L t or L o 0.1311 Lt 0.161, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. c. Normality test of scores of the students having high creativity B ฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores having high creativity, the highest value of L o L obtained is 0.1503. commit to user 90 From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number N = 28 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.161. Because L o was lower than L t or L o 0.1503 Lt 0.161, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. d. Normality test of scores of the students having low creativity B ฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores of the students having low creativity, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.1245. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number n = 28 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.161 because L o is lower than L t or L o 0.1245 L t 0.161, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. e. Normality test of scores of the students having high creativity who were taught using process approach A ฀B฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores having high creativity who were taught using process approach, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.1251. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number n = 14 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.227. Because L o was lower than L t or L o 0.1251 L t 0.227, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. f. Normality test of scores of the students having low creativity who were taught using process approach A ฀B฀ commit to user 91 Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores having low creativity who were taught using process approach, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.0636. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number n = 14 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.227. Because L o was lower than L t or L o 0.0636 L t 0.227, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. g. Normality test of scores of the students having high creativity who were taught using product approach A ฀B฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores having high creativity who were taught using product approach, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.1157. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number N = 14 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.227. Because L o is lower than L t or L o 0.1157 L t 0.227, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution. h. Normality test of scores of the students having low creativity who were taught using product approach A ฀B฀ Based on the result of the calculation of the students’ scores having low creativity who were taught using product approach, the highest value of L o L obtained was 0.1429. From the table of critical value of Liliefors test with the student’s number N = 14 at the significance level α = 0.05, the score of L t was 0.227. Because L o was commit to user 92 lower than L t or L o 0.1429 L t 0.227, it can be concluded that the data were in normal distribution.

Homogeneity test Homogeneity test is conducted to know whether data are homogeneous or not. The data can be said as homogeneous if χ ฀ ² is lower than χ t ² 0.05. The result of the analysis is as follows: Table 4.10 Summary of Homogeneity Test Sample df 1df s ฀² log s ฀ ² df log s ฀ ² 1 13 0.0769231 61.1428571 1.786345729 23.22249448 2 13 0.0769231 37.7582418 1.577011763 20.50115292 3 13 0.0769231 47.1703297 1.673668912 21.75769585 4 13 0.0769231 140.884615 2.148863571 27.93522642 ∑ 52 93.41656966 commit to user 93 B log s² = log 71.739² = 1.855755 B = log s² ∑ ni-1 = 1.855752 = 96.49928 χ² = ln10 {B- ∑n฀-1 log s฀ ² } = = 2.306 { 96.49928 – 93.416} = 7.10873 Based on the result of homogeneity test above, it can be seen that the score of χ² was 7.098. From the table of Chi-Square distribution with the significance level α = 0.05, the score of χ t ² 0.953 7.81. Because χ² 7.098 was lower than χ t ² 0.953 7.81 or χ² χ t ² 7.098 7.81, it can be concluded that the data are homogeneous.
