It means that the studentsAo basic knowledge in descriptive text was poor before the treatments by using KWL method.
The Standard Deviation is 9,847.
It means by using Standard Deviation the writer can find out how big the distance between the data of pre-test.
Standard deviation is said to be good if its value is smaller than the Mean.
Post-test The post-test of X MIPA and X IPS aims to look post-test of reading descriptive by using KWL From the result post-test, the data showed the score achieved by students is 85 and the lowest is 60.
The writer will serve their score in a table which consist of 23 sample with the different scores.
From the result of the calculation above the writer found that the improvement of studentsAo in reading descriptive after treatment of teaching by using KWL method is 70,43.

The Difference Mean Between Pre-test and Post-test From the result the writer found that the difference Mean (MD) between pre-test and post-test is 18,69.
It means by using the difference Mean (MD) between pre-test and post-test the writer can find out how much the improvement of the studentsAo reading skills before and after treatment by using KWL Method Validity and Reliability The score of Validity is 0,988 and interpreted in very high category.
Then Reliability is 0,993 and interpreted that the reliability is very high.
Standard Deviation Difference The writer found that the Standard Deviation Difference (SDD) from the formula is 8,10.
means that the quantity if difference variability that exists the pre-test and post-test scores is 8,10.
Standard Error Mean Difference From the result the writer found that Standard Error Mean Difference (SEMD) is 1,76.
Because of its small score, it means that spread of sample is also small, so the estimation of population parameter will be more accurate This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.
