The Effect Of Using Porpe Method Toward Reading Comprehension Of The Second Year Students At Sma N 04 Bengkulu City

Abstract

Reading is a very useful source of knowledge, especially for students. To produce knowledge, students must understand a reading. Because reading and understanding a reading is different, this research aims to determine the reading comprehension ability of students using the PORPE method or not, and whether or not it has an effect. There will be 5 meetings in the classroom, the first is a pre-test, the second is treatment and the last is a post-test. SMA N 04 Bengkulu City is where this research took place. Researcher got 2 classes in conducting this research, namely class XI IPA 3 as an experimental class totaling 29 students, and class XI IPA 4 as a control class totaling 29 people, a total of 58 students. To analyze the data, the researcher used the t-test sample formula using SPSS 20. Before conducting the research, the researcher found that the problem in the class to be studied was that their reading comprehension ability was still relatively weak. It can be seen from the English scores and reading tests from the class teacher data. This is due to various factors, such as the boring method taught, the students' lack of interest in reading and the lack of memorizing the vocabulary they know. In this case, the PORPE method is expected to be the solution. The objectivity of this research is 1. To determine whether there is an effect of using the PORPE method on reading skills in eleventh grade students of SMA N 04 Bengkulu City. 2. To find out whether there is a significant difference between the reading comprehension of students taught with the PORPE method and those taught without the PORPE method. After analyzing the data, the researchers concluded that there was a significant effect of using the PORPE method on reading comprehension of students of SMAN 04 Bengkulu which was based on statistical calculations, the significance value of t was 0.000 less than 0.05. So it can be concluded that there is a difference in the average student learning outcomes between the PORPE learning model and the conventional model. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Zero Hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
