Homogeneity test was used to calculate the homogeneity of variance of both experimental class and control class test score. Based on the result of the analysis, the mean score of experimental class for the post-test was 87.16 while the mean score for the control class was 81.67. In addition, the average score of experimental class was higher than control class. The result of significance value based on Mann Whitney U analysis in post-test was 0.004 < 0.05.
