test (pretest and posttest). Meanwhile, the collected data will be analyzed by using

the following formula:

𝑀𝑥 − 𝑀𝑦
to = 𝑆𝐷 𝑆𝐷𝑦
√( 𝑥 )²+( )²
√𝑁−1 √𝑁−1
Where to : The value of t-obtained
Mx : Mean Score of Experiment sample
My : Mean score of control sample
SDx : The standard deviation of experimental group
SDy : The standard deviation of control group
