G. Research Method
1. Research Design
The research will use quasi-experimental design. This design is divided into
three, but the researcher will use the first kind, nonequivalent control group
design. One group is control class and other is experimental class. The design will
be with pre-test (X 1 ), treatments (T) and post-test (X 2 ). The pre-test and post-
test will be given to both control class and experimental class. The experimental
class will be given treatments and the control class will not given treatments, it
between the pre test and post test score in experimental class depends on the
success of the treatment. The schematic representation for the design might be:
X = the treatment
