Abstract
This research used concept map as the media to improve reading comprehension. The objective of this research is to find out whether concept map is effective in the teaching reading to the eight year students of junior high school at SMP Negeri 2 Gamping. This research is classified as a quasi experimental research design. The subject of this research was the eight year students of SMP Negeri 2 Gamping, in the academic year of 2012/2013. This research focuses on the effect of using concept map as the media which are believed to be an alternative media to improve the students’ reading comprehension. The researcher divided the subjects into two classes. They were the control class and experimental class. The instrument of this research was a reading comprehension test. There were 30 test items of the reading comprehension test. To test the validity of the instrument, the researcher applied Point Biserial Correlation formula, while the reliability of the instrument is measured using KR-20 formula. The data were analyzed by utilizing descriptive and inferential analyses. The results of this study show that the scores of the students in the experimental class are higher than the scores of the students in the control group. The mean of the post test scores of the experimental group is 20.28 and the mean of the post test scores of the control group is 18.63. The value of t- observed (3.125) is higher than that of t- table (1.995). It means that the hypothesis is accepted (3.125 > 1.995). It can be said that there is a significant difference between students taught using concept map and those taught without using it. Therefore the hypothesis of this research “there is a significant difference in students’ reading comprehension ability between those who are taught by using concept map and those who are not” is accepted. This means concept map is believed to be an effective strategy to improve students’ reading comprehension ability.
