Gained score of the experimental class (79.9) is higher than the controlled class (71.8). From the result of statistic calculation, it is obtained that the value of t-observation (to) is 3.738 and degree of freedom (df) is 66. In the table of significance 5%, the value of degree of significance is 2,000. Comparing those values, the result is 3.738 > 2,000 which means t-observation (to) score is higher than t-table (tt) score.
