second grade of SMPN 5 Metro. 

The results show that the mean of students? posttest scores in the experimental
class is higher than the mean of students? posttest scores in the control class, that 
is 83.20 is higher than 70.83, with the mean difference is 12.37. The value of two
tail significant is 0.000. it means that H

was rejected and H
was accepted since
0.000 < 0.05.  The conclusion of this research is that there is a significant
