analyzed by using t-test formula. The mean of pre-test increases after clustering
technique from 62.05 to 80.45. The value of the effect was 64%. The result of the
data showed that was higher than (7.7>2.03452) with degree of
freedom (df) = n-k. The hypothesis was accepted. It proves that Clustering
