B. Testing Hypotheses

The two-way variance with the same cells is used to analyze the data gained from the post-test of writing given to both control and experimental classes. However, before computing this analysis, there are some requirements needed as the prerequisite conditions. Budiyono 2004: 206 mentions that the two-way variance with the same cells can be applied if the data gained come from populations whose distributions are normal and if the data obtained come from populations, which are homogenous. The followings will be about the computations of normality and homogeneity tests applied to the gained data. 1. Normality Test To know whether a population is normal or not, normality test is employed. In this research, the normality test was applied to the writing scores of experimental and control classes in accordance with the creativity level. Then, 19.5 26.5 33.5 40.5 47.5 54.5 61.5 commit to user 93 Lilliefors test was employed to find out the normality of teaching materials and creativity level. The tests results are presented in the following table, while the complete computation for each can be found in Appendices 4.1 up to 4.8. Table 25 The Summary of Normality Test using Lilliefors No Variables L obs Number of Data L table Test decision Description 1 Writing Scores of the Students Taught by Using Internet Materials 0.145 24 0.173 H o was accepted Normal 2 Writing Scores of the Students Taught by Using Textbook Materials 0.121 24 0.173 H o was accepted Normal 3 Writing Scores the Students Having High Creativity and Taught by Using Internet Material 0.170 12 0.242 H o was accepted Normal 4 Writing Scores the Students Having High Creativity and Taught by Using Textbook Material 0.129 12 0.242 H o was accepted Normal 5 Writing Scores the Students Having Low Creativity and Taught by Using Internet Material 0.105 12 0.242 H o was accepted Normal 6 Writing Scores the Students Having Low Creativity and Taught by Using Textbook Material 0.175 12 0.242 H o was accepted Normal 7 Writing Scores of the Students Having High Creativity 0.119 24 0.173 H o was accepted Normal 8 Writing Scores of the Students Having Low Creativity 0.099 24 0.173 H o was accepted Normal commit to user 94 The result summary of the normality using Lilliefors test shows that all of the values L obs gained are lower than L table . Therefore, it can be concluded that all of the populations based on both teaching materials and creativity levels were normal. 2. Homogeneity Test Bartlett test is employed to know whether all the variances of the research are homogenous. The students’ writing scores were the dependent variables and the teaching materials and creativity levels were the factorial variables. While the complete computation can be found in Appendix 3.19, the summary of the test of homogeneity is as follows: Table 26 The Summary of Homogeneity Test of Variance Variables b obs b k Test decision Description Materials 0.9008 0.9182 H o was accepted Homogenous Based on the table, all the gained values for all b obs are lower than b k . Then, it can be summarized that all H o were accepted. As a consequence, the data gained from the results for both variables derived from homogenous populations.
