Abstract

Keywords: Effectiveness, Reading Comprehension ability, PQ4R Among the four language skills in English, Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing, reading is the most important one to be taught since by reading students can get knowledge as the input of the learning process because reading is a source of knowledge. The problem here was the students have low motivation in reading. Thus, they were not interested in reading. The same problem was faced by SMPN 2 Bakung in which most of the students have low motivation in reading. For that reason, the researcher proposed PQ4R strategy to verify the problem. Since this study was aimed to know whether any significant difference score of students’ reading comprehension ability between before and after taught by using PQ4R strategy, the research question of this study was whether any significant difference score of students’ reading comprehension ability before and after taught using PQ4R strategy. This study was a per-experimental research with single group pre-test and post-test design. It used single group as the subject. The subject chosen was eighth grade of A class of SMPN 2 Bakung. This subject was chosen since 80% could not reach the minimum standard score defined by the school. The data of this research was obtained by administering pre-test and post-test. The data obtained by pre-test and post-test analyzed by using ttest. The result of t-test was 5.606. Meanwhile, the critical value for significant level at 5% with df 21 was 2.080. It meant that t-value was bigger than critical value (5.606 > 2.080) so it can be concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected. And for the significance was 0.020. It meant that alternative hypothesis which states that there is significant difference score of using PQ4R strategy to students’ reading comprehension ability at eighth grade students of SMPN 2 Bakung was accepted, whereas null hypothesis which states that there is no significant difference score of using PQ4R strategy to students’ reading comprehension ability at eighth grade students of SMPN 2 Bakung was rejected. In other words, using PQ4R strategy in teaching reading comprehension can be used as an alternative way to teach reading comprehension at junior high school especially for eighth grade.
