weeks. Mean, standard deviation and Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test were applied to
analyze the scores before and after the treatment. Quantitative data were collected
through achievement tests. Qualitative data were collected from classroom observation
and semi-structured interview.
The outcome of the learning achievement showed that the post-test mean
(16.27) was higher than the pre-test mean (7.14). The sign (P) value was .01 which
meant that the sample group had statistically significant improvement after the
treatment. In addition, the qualitative data revealed that using pictograph to learn
