Abstract

The objective of this research is to find out whether there is a significant difference on the reading comprehension ability between the students who are taught using reciprocal teaching strategy and those who are taught by using nonreciprocal teaching strategy. The design of this study was a quasi-experimental study. The study was conducted in SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Kalibawang. The population of the study included all the eighth grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Kalibawang in the academic year of 2012/2013. Two classes were selected using the cluster random sampling technique from the population as the experimental and control groups, i.e. Class VIII B and Class VIII A. There were 19 students in Class VIII B and 17 students in Class VIII A. Class B was chosen as the experimental group while Class A was chosen as the control group. The experimental group was taught by using reciprocal teaching strategy whereas the control group was taught by using non-reciprocal teaching strategy. The data were collected by administering a pre-test and a post-test. The data were analyzed using ANOVA. The results of the data analysis are as follows. First, the mean score of the post-test in the experimental group (21.84) is higher than that in the control group (17.71). Second, there is a significant difference in the reading comprehension ability between both groups indicated by the ANCOVA results, in which the significance level is 0.036 which is less than 0.05 (F= 4,592, p ˂ 0.05).Therefore, the hypothesis of this research “There is a significant difference in the reading comprehension ability between the eighth grade students of SMP Muhammadiyah 1 Kalibawang in the academic year of 2012/2013 taught using reciprocal teaching strategy and those taught without using reciprocal teaching strategy” is accepted. Finally, it can be concluded that reciprocal teaching strategy applied in teaching reading is effective for improving the students’ reading comprehension ability.
