The result of the independent T-test sample showed that there was no significant difference of PLC Practices according to gender (t=0.518, k>0.05). Parallel to PLC Practices, the EE Level independent T-test sample too showed insignificant difference where the EE Level score was (t=1.188, k>0.05), in a sense that both male and female were indifference.
