The results of the normality test The sig value in the pre-test is 0.231> sig value 0.05 (5%) meaning H0 is accepted and the sig value in the post-test is 0.006> sig value 0.05 (5%) meaning H0 is accepted, it can be concluded that the pre-test data is normally distributed and the post-test data is normally distributed. Based on the comparative hypothesis test of the pairad sample test output above, the sig value is 0.000> sig value 0.05 (5%) which means H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. so it can be concluded overall that there is an influence on student perception before and after the use of the think pair share learning model]]>
