Hypothesis Analysis:
taccount falls out of the area between the acceptance
region because 2.4548 is not -1.706 and 1.706, it means
that Ho is rejected and H1 is accepted.
 RESEARCH FINDINGS

Research Finding from the Observation

The teachers in experimental group has
simple activities but the activities have to focus
in students because as the facilitator, the teacher
should think how can make the students active in
learning activities without the teacher. On the
other hand, students did the discussion actively
and it made the class so lively.
