Reading is one of the language skills that should be mastered by the students
in junior high schools who study the language, especially the students at SMPN 6
Jember. As informed by the English teacher, the students often felt bored in the class
especially when the teacher taught reading. Sometimes they could not concentrate on
the learning activity. As the result, they always misintrepeted the text because they
did not understand the main idea and details of the text. This was because of the
media that was used by the English teacher was too monotonous and not quite
interesting.
Therefore, the English teacher should use the appropriate technique in the
reading class that can help the students to comprehend the text as well as possible.
One of the ways that may have a significant to increase students’ reading
comprehension is Jigsaw Type II technique.
This research was a quasi experimental research. The purpose of this research
was to know whether or not the use of Jigsaw Type II technique has a significant
effect on the reading comprhension achievement of the seventh year students at
SMPN 6 Jember.
The area of this research was SMP Negeri 6 Jember. It was chosen
purposively because the use of Jigsaw Type II technique had never been applied in
teaching learning process in this school.
The respondents of this research were the seventh year students of SMPN 6
Jember in the 2012/ 2013 academic year. The research respondents were determined
by cluster random sampling through a lottery. The total number of the respondents
was 68 students that consisted of 34 students of VII C as the experimental group
xiii
taught by using Jigsaw Type II technique, while the control group consisted of 34
students of VII E taught by using group working technique.
The data of this research were collected from the students’ scores of reading
comprehension test, interview and documentation. The reading comprehension test
was collected from the pre test and post test to make comparison of the gained scores
between the two groups after the treatment, and the result was analyzed by using ttest
