The standard deviation on the post-test (7.7) in the experimental class and the standard deviation of the post-test in the control class (7.6). From the t-test, the researcher found that the value of the t-test (5.747) was higher than the t-table (2.042) at the level of significant 0.05 with degree of freedom (df) = 38. The effectiveness of Outdoor Learning method also can be seen from the effectiveness test, where the result of the test is 0.24(R<1).
