INCREASING STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT OF NARRATIVE TEXT THROUGH RECIPROCAL

Abstract

Abstract:

This research was conducted based on the consideration that students

still got low scores in reading comprehension test. There were many factors that

influenced students’ problems in comprehending the reading text, e.g. the use of

teaching strategy. One of strategies which considered applicable and useful in

increasing students’ reading comprehension achievement is reciprocal teaching

technique. Therefore, this research was intended to find out whether there was a

difference in students’ reading comprehension achievement before and after being

taught through reciprocal teaching technique and to investigate the students’

activity in teaching learning process using reciprocal teaching technique.

The researcher administered this research at MA Nurul Ulum Kotagajah,

Lampung Tengah. The participants included one class at the first year. A pre testpost

test control group design was applied in this quantitative research. The data

which were collected were analyzed by using Repeated Measure t-test with

Statistically Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 16.0.

Based on the calculation of t-test, the result showed that the students’ mean score

of post test in experimental class (75.43%) was higher than pre test (51.32%) with

the gained score was 24.11%. In which significance was determined by p<0.05.

The t-test revealed that the result was significant (p=000). It showed that

hypothesis was accepted, since there was a difference in students’ reading

comprehension achievement before and after being taught through reciprocal

teaching technique. It was proved that, reciprocal teaching technique was effective

in increasing students’ reading comprehension achievement and also can improve

students’ activity in teaching learning process. Thus, it is concluded that

reciprocal teaching technique can be applied and recommended as a reference to

terapkan dan berguna dalam pencapaian pemahaman siswa dalam meningkatkan

pemahaman membaca adalah reciprocal teaching technique. Oleh karena itu,

penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan prestasi

pemahaman membaca siswa sebelum dan setelah diajarkan melalui reciprocal

teaching technique dan untuk melihat aktivitas siswa dalam proses belajar

mengajar menggunakan reciprocal teaching technique.

dari postest kelas eksperimen (75,43%) lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan pre test

(51.32%) dengan kenaikan yang diperoleh adalah 24,11%. Di mana signifikansi

ditentukan oleh p <0,05. The t-test menunjukkan bahwa hasilnya signifikan (p =

000). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa hipotesis diterima, karena ada perbedaan dalam

pencapaian pemahaman membaca siswa sebelum dan sesudah diajarkan melalui
