As for the average posttest result in the experimental class obtained an average score of 77.66 while in the control class obtained an average value of 64.66. In addition, based on the results of hypothesis testing using T test two independent samples obtained sig value. 0,000. The sig value. is less than 0.05, meaning that there is a significant difference from the posttest result between the experimental class and the control class.
