The quantitative technique was used for this study research. The sample of this research VIII.5 and VIII.6 class, each class consisted of 34 students, with a total sample of 68 students. Additionally, the result of an independent sample t-test revealed that at a significance level of 0,05, t-obtained was 6,320 > t-table (df=66) was 1,997.
