Data minat belajar pada siswa dikumpulkan melalui kuisioner minat belajar yang telah dilakukan uji ahli dan uji statistik untuk dinyakan valid dan reliabel. Analisis data pada penelitian ini menggunakan perhitungan N-Gain Score, uji normalitas, uji homogenitas dan uji hipotesis non parametrik. Berdasarkan uji hipotesis non parametrik Mann Whitney U Test menggunakan SPSS statistic versi 22 diperoleh nilai (sig.) 0,000 < 0,05 sehingga Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima menandakan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelas eskperimen dengan kelas kontrol.
