Meanwhile, the t-table is 2.03 at significance level 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) is 31.
Therefore, the t-calculated is higher than t-table (12.6{\ensuremath{>}}2.03). It means that alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected. In conclusion, the result shows that this technique can be useful to increase students?
