Abstract

This research was conducted to find the effect of using Predict Locate Add Note Strategy on the Eleventh Grade students’ narrative text reading comprehension achievement at SMAN 1 Jombang in the 2015/1016 academic year. The design of this research was a quasi-experimental research. The school was chosen purposively as the research area since there was no previous research dealing with the effect of Predict Locate Add Note Strategy in teaching reading especially narrative text at SMAN 1 Jombang. The primary data of this research were gained by conducting the narrative text reading comprehension test, meanwhile the secondary data were collected through interview and documentation In this research, the result of the ANOVA formula for homogeneity analysis showed that the research population was homogenous since the F value was 0.260 which lower than that of the Ftable which was 2.6783. Thus, the researcher determined the experimental group and control group by using Cluster Random Sampling. Based on the lottery, the class chosen for experimental group was XI IIS 5 and XI IIS 2 belonged to control group. The researcher administered the try out test at XI IIS 1 as one of the classes which did not include as the sample of the research. The scores obtained in the try out test analyzed by using Split-Half Odd Even of SPSS. The result showed that the test given to the students was reliable since the reliability coefficient of the whole test was 0.801. Moreover, the difficulty index of the test items were categorized as fair items. After teaching both groups with different method, the researcher administered the posttest. The posttest was in the form of multiple choices. There were 20 test items with 2 different texts in the posttest. In this posttest, the students from both groups were required to find out the general and specific information contained in the text. Each text contained 10 test items which could be classified as four test items for identifying the general information and six test items for identifying the specific information. To gain the primary data of this research, the researcher analyzed the score obtained by the research respondents in the posttest by using Independent sample T-Test of SPSS. The result showed that the value of significant (2-tailed) was 0.028 in the significant level of 5%. It means that the value of significant (2-tailed) was less than 0.05 (0.028 < 0.05). It showed that the null hypothesis (H0) which was “There is no significant effect of using PLAN Strategy on Senior High School Students’ narrative text reading comprehension achievement at SMAN 1 Jombang” was rejected. As a result, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) which was “There is a significant effect of using PLAN Strategy on Senior High School Students’ narrative text reading comprehension achievement at SMAN 1 Jombang” was accepted.
