In the first cycle, 13 or 52% of students were declared complete, and 12 or 48% of students were declared incomplete. In the second cycle, 76% or 19 students were declared complete, and 24% or . 6 students declared incomplete. So it is known that there is an increase in students who are declared complete, from pre-action to the first cycle by 28% or 7 students, from the first cycle to the second cycle by 24% or 6 students, so that the overall increase from pre-action to the second cycle is 52% or 13 students. In the pre-action, the average score of class B.3 students was 59.20, then increased to 68.00 in the first cycle, and finally increased to 74.28 in the second cycle. The increase in the average value from pre-action to the first cycle was 8.80 with a percentage of 14.86%, while the increase in the average value from the second cycle was 6.28 with a percentage of 9.24%, so that overall there was an increase in the average value.
