It is known from the average value of the data presented that has been calculated in SPSS version 26 that the value of the experimental class increased from 50.62 in the pre-test to 75.23 in the post-test after being given the treatment. Meanwhile, the pretest in the control class was 45.83 and the posttest score was 53.58 because the researchers did not treat it. The t-score obtained from the post-test results between the experimental class and the control class is 6.8. This shows that the results of the t-score > t table (2,064) and the sig.
