The tests were then distributed in two ways; 1. Pre-test was distributed before the treatment: 2. Posttest was distributed after the treatment. Furthermore, the data was analyzed by using statistical formulation and Microsoft Excel 2013 with 0,05 significance level. After the data was analyzed, it can be found that the value of tobserved was higher than ttable. It can be seen from tobserved (3,839) > ttable (2,001) at the degree of freedom (df) = 58. It means that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (H0) was rejected.
