05 then the data is normally distributed.
In the table there are experimental and control For data collection in this study the writer conducted pre-test and post test in both classes.
So that the results of the normality calculation in the table above explain that for the experimental class the sig value in the pre-test is 0.
> 0.
05 so that it is normally distributed.
Likewise, the post-test sig value is 0.
> 0.
05 so the data is normally Then for normality in the control class based on the table above, it is explained that the sig value in the pretest is 0.

05 so that the data is normally distributed.
Likewise, the sig value in the post-test is 0.
075> 0.
05 so that it is normally distributed.
