The result of this research showed that the level of the mastery concept of experimental class was in crease of 50%, while the control class of 15%. The result of T-test of pre-test showed that Tcount= -1,5104 in the reception area Ttable= 2,7378, so there is no significant difference of initial capability between the experimental and control class students before being given treatment.
