subject from grade XI comprising of 346 students. The 100 samples were chosen
using cluster technique from class TPHP 1, ATPH2, and MP2. To test the
validity, it was used Product Moment Correlation analysis, and alpha formula was
used to test the reliability. The data were then analyzed using Product Moment
analysis with the significant level of 5%. The result of this research showed that in
the first hypothesis, there was a significant correlation with obtained (r)>
table=(0,270> 0,195); in the second hypothesis, there was a significant correlation
with obtained (r)> table=(0,560> 0.195); in the second hypothesis, there was a
significant correlation with obtained F of 23,181, while F table of 3,94 with
N=100 and significant level of 5%. Therefore, the obtained F was higher than
table (23,181>3,94). The result of this research showed a positive and significant
correlation meaning that all hypotheses were proven in this reseach. In
conclusion, when the learning process is done well, it will trigger the students’
