| dc.description.abstract | Reading is one of the ways for gaining information, open our mind and
knowledge and also comprehending words and sentence pattern. In fact, reading
comprehension is not an easy task. The teacher must find the effective strategy to
help the students. One of the strategies that can be used is Collaborative Strategies
Reading (CSR), and it is the main concern of this research.
This research was conducted to find the effect of using Collaborative Strategic
Reading (CSR) on the tenth grade students’ reading comprehension achievement at
SMK Negeri 4 Jember in the 2016/2017 academic year. The design of this research
was a quasi-experimental reseach. The school was chosen purposively as the research
area since the English teacher of SMK Negeri 4 Jember has never applied it. The data
of this research were gained by conducting the posttest using a narrative test reading
comprehension.
In this research, the result of the ANOVA formula for homogeneity analysis
showed that the reseach population was homogeneous since F value was 0.248 which
was lower than that of the F table which was 1.9062. So, the researcher determined
the experimental group and control group by lottery. Based on the lottery, the class
chosen for the experimental group was X Accounting 3 and X Accounting 1 as the
control group.
The researcher administered the try out test to one of the classes that was not chosen
as the experimental or control groups. There were some important points in
constructing the test item, such as the difficulty level, validity and reliability. After teaching both groups with different methods, the researcher
administered the reading posttest. The posttest was in the form of multiple choice.
There were 25 test items with 2 different texts in the posttest. In this posttest, the
students from both groups were required to find out the information in the form of
word, sentence, paragraph, and text comprehension. The first text contained 12 test
items and the second text contained 13 test items. To gain the data of this research,
the researcher analyzed the scores 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 0.026 in the significant lefel of 5%. It means that the value
of significance (2-tailed) was less than 0.05 (0.026 < 0.05). It showed that the null
hyphothesis (H0) which was formulated “There is no significant effect of using
Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) on the tenth grade students’ reading
comprehension achievement at SMK N 4 Jember” was rejected. Then, the alternative
hypothesis (Ha) which was formulated “There is a significant effect of using
Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) on the tenth grade students’ reading
comprehension achievement at SMK N 4 Jember” was accepted.
Based on the result of the research, since Collaborative Strategic Reading
(CSR) can be used to comprehend the text, the English teacher is suggested to apply
this strategy in teaching reading, not only in narrative texts but also in expository text.
Futhermore, it is suggested to other researchers who want to conduct the other
researches about Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) should pay attention to the
main problem such as time allocation. | en_US |
