There was one class used as the sample of this research (XI IPA 7). This class contained of 36 students. Besides, there was another class that had the similar level of competence used for try-out (XI IPA 6). In doing this research, there were five meetings overall.

To find out the significance of the score increase between the pre-test and post-test, t-test was applied. The result showed that the t-value (7.43) was higher than t-table (2.03). Besides, rxy (correlation index) was 0.79. This result meant that there was a significant increase between pre-test and post-test. It could be inferred that the result of the post-test was better than the result of the pre-test. In addition, questionnaires were also used to reveal students’ interest, opinion, and motivation.
