assisted puppet as media. The instrument of collecting data was multiple choice or
statement true or false which consist of 20 items. After the data have been
collected they were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of analysis
showed that t-observed(t-observed =6.53) was higher than t-table (t-table= with the
level of significant = 0.05 the value of t-table 2.063 and the degree of freedom
(df=24) it showed that t-observed>t-table(6.53>2.063) . The result showed that the
alternative hypothesis of the study is accepted. It meant that the result of this
