group, while the horizontal line shows the achievement of the experimental group.
4.1.4 The Difference Gain of Pre Test and Post Test
The difference gain of pre test and post test between the experimental group and the control group will be discussed. The computation of the difference
gain of the experimental and control groups is as follows:

∑
Y = the sum of the difference gain of the pre test and post test of the control group

4.1.5 The Difference of Two Means
I computed the difference between two means by using the following formula:
Ne Xe

Where: Xe
= the mean of the experimental group Xc
= the mean of the control group
∑
Xe = the total of the students’ scores in the experimental group
∑
Xc = the total of the students’ scores in the control group Ne
= the number of the students in the experimental group Nc
= the number of the students in the control group

From the calculation, the mean of the experimental group was 79.68 and the mean of the control group was 75.68.
4.1.6 The Level of the Students’ Achievement
The data were obtained from the students’ pre test and post test. The following is the table that shows the average scores for pre test and post test which is based on
five items:

According to the table, the difference average between the pre test of the
experimental and the control groups was 1.84, the difference average between the post-test of the experimental and the control groups was 4. The difference of the
pre-test and the post-test of the experimental group was 15.58, while the difference of the pre-test and the post-test of the control group was 9.73. It means
that the difference in each criterion after getting the treatment by using Five- Minutes Activity is better than by using pictures.
4.1.7 t-Test Result
t-Test was used to compare the difference gain of the pre test and post test between the experimental group and the control group. The following is t-test
formula:

t = 7.2841 After calculating t-test, I used the critical value of t-table to check whether
the difference is significant or not. For
σ

. I found that t-
table = 1.84. Based on the computation, I found that t-value was 7.2841. It means
that t-value is higher than the critical value on the table. It proved that there is significant difference between the experimental group and the control group.
