Data analysis using the Mann-Whitney test (SPSS 24). The Mann-Whitney test is used to compare two independent groups with ordinal or interval data that are not normally distributed. The test results show that the test statistic is 0.001, which is smaller than 0.05, meaning that the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted. It can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the control class and the experimental class.
