Datal collection techniquesl using questionnairesl and ldocumentation. Thel data analysisl technique is descriptivel percentage lanalysis, instrument testl consisting ofl validity andl reliability ltests, and hypothesisl testing consistingl of simplel linear regressionl lanalysis, t-testl and coefficientl ofl ldetermination.
