conducting post-test, the researcher gave treatment for experimental group using
Cooperative Script. After getting enough data, the researcher calculated the data
using t-test polled and variance.
Based on the computation, the mean score of experimental group was
77.41 and the mean of control group was 65.96. The t-value was consulted to the
t-table at the 0.05 significance level. It showed that the t-table is 2.00 and the tvalue
was 6.77 it means that t-value was higher than t-table so, it can be
