Abstract


Abstrak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki: (1) korelasi antara sikap terhadap membaca dan penggunaan strategi belajar dalam membaca, (2) dan kontribusi sikap terhadap membaca terhadap strategi belajar membaca siswa dalam hal kognitif, metakognitif, dan strategi sosial. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif kuantitatif. Subyek penelitian adalah 33 siswa Kelas XI IPA I dari SMAN 1 Terbanggi Besar. Untuk mengumpulkan data, penelitian ini menggunakan dua kuisioner mengenai sikap terhadap membaca dan strategi belajar membaca. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa tidak adanya korelasi yang signifikan antara sikap siswa unruk membaca dan penggunaan strategi belajar mereka dalam membaca; dan sikap terhadap membaca memiliki kontribusi yang kecil terhadap strategi siswa dalam belajar membaca. Melihat hal ini, guru dapat memaksimalkan proses belajar siswa dengan melatih mereka untuk menyatukan strategi kognitif dengan strategi metakognitif yang tepat.
