CHAPTER IV RESULT AND DISCUSSION
This chapter deals with the analysis of the data collected from the research and the application of the t-test as well as the discussion of the research finding.
4.1 Data Analysis
Here, the writer would like to analyze and interpret the data that have been obtained from the test by the students of both programs. As what had been said by
Kerlinger 1979: 311 that analysis is the categorizing, ordering, manipulating, summarizing of the data, so, the writer dealt with statistics to analyze and interpret the
raw data. The purpose of the analysis was to reduce large quantities of raw data to manageable and interpretable from that characteristic of situations, events, and people
can be succinctly described and relations among variables studied and interpreted. In line with the explanation above, here the writer statistically analyzed the
data that was obtained from samples of observation. The aim was to describe and to study the data from empirical observation, to assess statistical significance of
research findings. The students of experimental group and those of control group tested on
