INDEPENDENT SAMPLES T TEST AND THE MANN-WHITNEY-WILCOXON TEST TO KNOW THE EFFECT OF THE DRILL METHOD ON MATHEMATICS LEARNING OUTCOMES

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the drill method on the mathematics learning outcomes of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 5 Jombang. The pre-test results were tested for normality using the Shapiro-Wilk test and for homogeneity using the Bartlett test. The pre-test results showed the data were normally distributed and homogeneous. The t-test indicated that the pre-test mean scores between the control and experimental classes were the same. However, the post-test data for the experimental class were not normally distributed, so homogeneity was tested using the Levene test. The Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference, proving that the drill method affects students' learning outcomes.
