for post-test. The mean score of control group is 75.00 for pre-test and 95.00 for
post-test. Those results were formulated with t-test formula. The test score showed
that t-test > t-table. The Wilcoxon test output have significant value of 0.000 <
0.050. . It can be concluded that there is a significant differences of the students’
