Abstract

This research focused on the issue of the reading strategies and reading comprehension of the Health Analyst Department students. The Health Analyst Department students need reading strategies to acquire knowledge according to their specific needs. They need to be able to comprehend their target texts. This research aimed to identify the Health Analyst Department students’ reading strategies and reading comprehension achievement as well as to correlate their reading strategies to reading comprehension. This research employed qualitative method. The research utilized Mokhtari and Sheorey’ (2002) survey of reading strategies (SORS) and reading comprehension test (RCT) as research instruments. All research data of reading strategies (global, problem solving and support reading strategies) and reading comprehension were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, linear regression and Pearson’s Product Moment correlation test. The students frequently utilized the problem solving reading strategies in comprehending their target texts. The correlation coefficient of support reading strategies is greater than the two others. Those results give indications that the students’ choices of reading strategies do not always give better reading comprehension. The students’ reading strategies have significant positive correlation to their reading comprehension with regard to their comprehending the target texts.

Abstract

In this study, the writer used a quasi-experimental non-equivalent-groups pre-test-post-test design. The subjects of this study were the second grade students of Elementary School. The writer used two classes as the sample of this experiment. The experimental group was taught using mind mapping and another was taught using word list. Before that, the writer gave a pre-test, and after the experiment a post-test to both groups. From the calculation of the t-test, the writer found the t-observation of both groups. From the analysis of the pre-test, the writer found out that those two groups had equal ability in vocabulary mastery. From the post-test scores, the writer also found out that those two groups were not significantly different. The t-observation of the two groups was 1.26, while the t-table was 2.08. It means that the null hypothesis which says “there is no significant difference between the vocabulary mastery of the second grade students who were taught by using mind mapping technique and one of those taught by using word list technique” was accepted.

Abstract

In the past few years, there have been controversial issues regarding the national exams vis-à-vis its legal use as a part of graduation decision, the administration, and the result. The history of the national exam of the elementary and the secondary schools dates back from the late 1960s. Changes of government’s policies concerning the implementation of the national exam and the use of the result should be understood as an effort of the betterment of the education system in Indonesia. Philosophically, the national exam should have the most important characteristics of a test: the validity and accountability. The Ministry of Education and Culture has stipulated that the development and the use of the English National Exam for the junior high school is made in such a way to measure the communicative skill at the functional level in the daily communication which is in line with the goals of the English teaching as contained in framework of the National Examination or Kisi-Kisi Ujian Nasional SMP. This English National Exam consists of 50 multiple choice items covering 45 reading comprehension questions, 3 items of grammar, and 2 items to measure writing skills. As the most items focus on reading comprehension questions, this paper presents the analysis of the questions based on the micro- and macro skills proposed by Brown (2004). The result shows that the levels of the questions tend to be more to measure the macro-skills of reading. As both types of skills are grouped hierarchically, the higher levels of the skills require the manipulation of the lower skills. It is most important for the English teachers to consider this concept when preparing lesson, doing the class activities, especially when guiding students to comprehend texts.
