The sample of this study were taken from two classes of the second year of a private high school in Bangka Belitung province. This study is an experimental study with quasi-experimental design. The data were collected through Observation and Test. They were then analyzed by using T-Test.The result showed that the rxy (17.16) was higher compared to rtable at significant level (0.432). Thus, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and null hypothesis (H0) was rejected.
