THE EFFECT OF TEACHING MORPHOLOGICAL ANALYSIS ON THE STUDENTS' READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT
Abstract
Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh pengajaran analisis morfologi terhadap peningkatan hasil pemahaman membaca siswa dan mengetahui masalah siswa dalam analisis morfologi. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif dan dilaksanakan pada 26 siswa di kelas XI Lintas Minat 5. Untuk mengumpulkan data, peneliti memberikan tes analisis morfologi dan pemahaman membaca dan melakukan observasi dan wawancara. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada pengaruh positif pengajaran analisis morfologi terhadap peningkatan hasil pemahaman membaca siswa. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari peningkatan nilai rata-rata dari kedua tes yang signifikan dari 62.50 ke 77.12 dan 66.85 ke 78.35. Selain itu, hasil observasi dan wawancara menunjukkan siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam menentukan bentuk kata dasar beserta artinya dan dalam mengklasifikasikan kata ke kelas katanya. Oleh karena itu, pengajaran analisis morfologi bisa menjadi referensi dalam pengajaran pemahaman membaca bahasa Inggris.

It used quantitative and qualitative approaches and was conducted to 26 students in XI Lintas Minat 5. To collect the data, the researcher administered morphological analysis test and reading comprehension test; observation; and interview. The results indicated there was a positive effect of teaching morphological analysis on the students reading comprehension achievement. That could be seen from the significant increase of the mean score of morphological analysis test and reading comprehension test, 62.50 to 77.12 and 66.85 to 78.35. Furthermore, the observation and interview results indicated the students faced difficulties in determining the roots and their meanings and classifying words into part of speech.
