Abstract


Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah schema activation strategy dapat meningkatkan kemampuan membaca siswa pada naratif teks secara signifikan. Penelitian ini menerapkan one group pretest-postest design. Pada penelitian ini hasil datanya diolah dengan menggunakan Pengukuran Perulangan t-test. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa adanya peningkatan yang signifikan pada kemampuan membaca siswa setelah diajarkan dengan menggunakan shema activation strategy. Skor rata-rata siswa pada sebelum test yaitu 55.7 sedangkan pada saat setelah test yaitu 63.5. Peningkatan skor rata-rata dari sebeleum tes ke setelah tes adalah 7.9. Dengan menggunakan t-test, dihasilkan t-ratio 7.369 dan t-table 2.052. Karna t-ratio lebih tinggi dari t-table, ini menunjukkan bahwa peningkatannya adalah signifikan.

The objective of the research was to find out if the schema activation strategy can increase the students reading comprehension of narrative text significantly. The research was conducted through one group pretest-posttest design. The data were analyzed by using Repeated Measures t-test. The result of the analysis indicates that there is a significant improvement of students reading comprehension achievement after being taught through schema activation strategy. The average score of pre-test is 55.7 while the average score of post-test is 63.5. The increase of the average score from pretest to posttest is 7.9. By using t-test, it was found that t-ratio is 7.369 and t-table is 2.052. Since t-ratio is higher than t-table, it proved that the increase is significant.
