The computation of the mean score of the experimental group is 3.2 which was Greater than the mean score of the control group is 1.4, while the level significance used 0.05 or 95% with the degree of freedom was 20: N-2 becoming 20-2= 18. It is indicated that the treatment was successful.  On the other hand, the result of the standard deviation by using the formula of t-test was 3.33 greater than the t-table was 2.101. In other words, accepted Ha and rejected H0 because the t-test was 3.3 exceeding the table was 2.101 at the 0.5 level.
