The research followed a quasi-experimental design, specifically a two-group pretest-posttest design. The population of the study consisted of 62 students from seventh classes of SMP 2 Batang Anai. A sampling method was used to select a sample of 32 students from class 7.1 as the experimental group and another 30 students from class 7.2 as the control group.
