Analysis of qualitative data from observation, interview, worksheet and evaluation sheet. Based on quantitative results of wilcoxon sign rank test showed that in this study there are significant differences between pretest and posttest with value Z = -2.023ͣ (p <0,050). The results can also be seen from the decrease of mean score between pretest and postest. Pretest with mean score (= 82.20) and posttest with mean value (= 56,20).
