By conducting a quasi-experimental investigation at senior high school level in South Sumatera, Indonesia, two classes consisting of thirty students in each class at SMA Negeri 1 Kandis were chosen as the samples by using purposive sampling method. To analyze the data, the t-test was used. The result findings showed that t-obtained (3.29) was higher than t-table (2.0017) at the significance level of p-value was lower than 0.05.
