The data collection method uses written product assessment in the form of short stories, and the research instrument uses a multilevel scale model performance observation sheet. Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (t-test). Based on the analysis of the t-test results, the sig. (2-tailed) namely 0.004 < 0.05.
