Data were collected through pre-test and post-test and the research sample was selected by the cluster random technique.

The data were analyzed by using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) 16 for Windows. The calculation result of independent t-test on post-test scores showed that p-output is 0,809 and the t-value is 0.242. Since the p-output was higher than 0.05 level and t-value was lower than t-table or 1.674, at the significant level p > 0.05. So that, the null hypothesis (Ho) was accepted and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was rejected.
