The research method used was experiment quasi with a noninvasive or non-equitable control group design. This research used a questionnaire and an observation sheet as instruments that have been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis used the prerequisite test, namely the normality and homogeneity tests, and hypothesis testing using the paired sample t-test analyzed using SPSS For Mac 25.
