Researchers chose one class with a total of 30 students using the purposive sampling technique. In this study, the data collection procedure used tests as the research instrument. The results showed an increase in the average score obtained by students where the mean score of students in the pre-test was 55.6, which increased significantly by 24.1 points to 79.7. and the t-test value is greater than the t-table value.
