Abstract
This research aims to improve the reading comprehension of Grade VIII C students of SMP N 3 Pakem using the Semantic Mapping Strategy. The design of this research was an action research since its aim was to solve the problems occurring in the teaching and learning process of reading. The research was conducted in SMP N 3 Pakem, Sleman, Yogyakarta from the 15th of January to the 8th of March 2014. A total of 31 students of Grade VIII C at SMP N 3 Pakem participated as the subjects of the research. The data were collected both qualitatively through observation and interviews and quantitatively through a pre-test and a posttest. The field notes and interview transcripts were processed qualitatively using Burns’ model including assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building meanings and interpretations, and reporting the outcomes. Meanwhile, to build interpretations of the quantitative data, the pre-test and post-test results were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 16.0 and O’Gara’s model to find the difference between the average scores of the students in both tests. The results showed that the use of the Semantic Mapping Strategy was useful to improve the students’ reading comprehension. By using the procedure of this strategy, the students showed improvement in their comprehension of the content of the text, their understanding of the generic structure of the text, and their vocabulary mastery. This strategy also improved the teaching and learning of reading such as the students’ participation and confidence and the classroom interaction. The findings were also supported by the quantitative data. The mean scores of the students’ reading comprehension tests showed improvement from 2.71 to 4.44.
