THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STUDENTS' MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS AND THEIR READING COMPREHENSION
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara kesadaran morfologi dan pemahaman membaca siswa. Sejumlah 32 siswa dari kelas XI IPA 1 SMAN 15 Bandar Lampung dipilih sebagai kelas sampel. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah ex-post-facto perihal penelitian korelasi. Alat pengumpulan datanya adalah tes Morphological Awareness dan Reading Comprehension. Hasil penelitian menunjukan koefisien korelasi terhitung lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan nilai kritis dari r tabel (0.729>0.449). Selain itu dianalisis juga regresi sederhana untuk melihat seberapa jauh kesadaran morfologi berpengaruh terhadap pemahaman membaca siswa. Hasil regresi sederhana menunjukan kesadaran morfologi berpengaruh 51.5% terhadap pemahaman membaca siswa. Oleh karena itu, dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kesadaran morfologi dan pemahaman membaca siswa. Hal itu berarti bahwa morfologi dapat diterapkan sebagai salah satu strategi demi meningkatkan pemahaman membaca siswa.
The objective of this study was to find out whether there was significant correlation between students morphological awareness and their reading comprehension. Thirty two students of XI IPA 1 SMAN 15 Bandar Lampung were selected as the sample class of this research. The design used was ex-post-facto design in term of co-relational study. The instruments were Morphological Awareness and Reading Comprehension tests. The result of calculation showed that coefficient correlation was higher than the critical value of r table (0.729>0.449). Simple regression was done to analyze how far the contribution of morphological awareness to students reading comprehension. The result interpreted that morphological awareness influenced 51.5% toward reading comprehension. Therefore, it can be concluded that there was significant correlation between students morphological awareness and their reading comprehension. It implied that morphology can be applied as strategy of increasing students reading comprehension.
