While the control class uses class VIII B with conventional methods. Based on the data obtained by the researcher, the results of the t-test of this study were 3.92007, while for the t-table with levels of 0.05 and 28 degrees of freedom obtained 1.70113. The calculation results show that the t-observation is 3.92007 > tt (t-table) 1.70113. The alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected.
