The Effect of Using SCROL strategy toward Students’ Reading Comprehension on Hortatory exposition Text at The Eleventh Grade of SMAN 1 Canduang
This research was done because most of the students of Senior High School students still encounter problems in mastering English especialy reading comprehension. Most of the students were difficult to comprehend the text especially hortatory exposition text . The students read the texts but they could not get the information’s and message from the passage well. In other words, although the students were reading the text but they did not understand about the text. The students did not have any reading strategy in comprehend the text. In additions, the students only read the text without complete understanding. As a result, only a few students were able to understand the text. The main focus of the research is to discover the effect of using SCROL strategy toward students’ reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text. It has been done at SMAN 1 Canduang This research used experimental research. The researcher used a quasi-experimental design by using the pretest-posttest control group design. The population of this research was the eleventh grade students at SMAN 1 Canduang. The sample was XI IPS 3 was treated as experimental class and taught by using SCROL strategy and XI IPS 1 was treated as control class and taught by using common strategy. To determine the sample, the researcher used purposive sampling technique based on some consideration. The data was got through pretest and posttest to experimental and control groups. To analyze the data, the researcher used the normality by using Lilliefors test and the homogeneity test by using F test and to test the Hypothesis the researcher used t-test formula and consulted the result into t- table with level of significance α = 0,05. From the result and accounting the pre-test and post-test scores of the experiment class, it was found that the t-obtained (5.44) was higher than the t-table (1.68488) with degree of freedom (df) = 39 and (α) = 0,05. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted which means that there was significant effect of SCROL strategy to the students reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text. Then, the calculation of post-test both classes : was experimental class and control class, it was obtained that the t-o was (2,82) which was higher than the t-table (2.02269). With degree of freedom 20 + 20 – 1 = 39 and (α)= 0.025 So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted which means that there is significant difference between using SCROL strategy and common strategy. Then t-obtained both of classes in third hypothesis is (2.82) which was higher than t-table (1.68488) with (α)= 0,05. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted which means that SCROL strategy is better than common strategy in teaching reading comprehension on hortatory exposition text. So, it can be concluded that the entire hypothesis is accepted. It is proved that using SCROL strategy as a reading strategy can help the students in improving their reading comprehensions especially hortatory exposition text.
