Abstract
The objective of the research is to find out whether there is a significant difference in the reading comprehension ability between the students who are taught by using graphic organizers and those who are taught by using non-graphic organizers (discussion). The research was a quasi-experimental study. It involved 72 students of grade eight students of MTsN Yogyakarta 1 in the second semester of the academic year of 2012/2013 who were divided into two groups: Class VIII D as the experimental group and Class VIII E as the control group. The students of Class VIII D were taught by using graphic organizers whereas those of Class VIII E were taught using non-graphic organizers (discussion). The data were collected using the reading comprehension test. It was administered to the two groups as the pretest and the posttest. The data were analyzed by means of descriptive and inferential statistics. After the data distribution was found to be normal and the sample variance was also found to be homogenous, the hypothesis was tested using the analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to find out the difference of the mean scores between the two groups. The result shows that the level of significance is lower than 0.05, i.e. 0.000 < 0.05 (F= 121.390, p= 0.000). The adjusted mean of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group, i.e. 77.76 > 68.90. It means that there is a significant difference in the reading comprehension ability between the students who are taught by using graphic organizers and those who are taught using non-graphic organizers (discussion). Based on the mean scores of both groups, it can be seen that the mean score of experimental group increased 13.12 point, while the mean score of control group increased 4.72 point. It means that there is thrice increase. Finally, it can be concluded that both of the strategies are effective to improve the students’ reading comprehension ability, but the graphic organizers is more effective than the discussion strategy.
