Abstract

This research aims to examine the effectiveness of Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) and Think, Predict, Read, and Connect (TPRC) strategies in teaching reading comprehension to students with varying levels of self-efficacy. This type of research is a 2x2 factorial design. The subjects were XI IPA 1 and XI IPS 1 classes of MA Ma’arif NU 1 Kemranjen Banyumas. They are classified into high and low self-efficacy beliefs. The instruments used were test, questionnaire, and observation checklist. This research revealed that CSR and TPRC strategies are effective to teach reading comprehension to students with high and low levels of self-efficacy. Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the students who were taught by using CSR and TPRC strategies. The mean post-test scores of students with a high level of self-efficacy in both experimental classes were 75.06 and 73.78. Meanwhile, the mean post-test scores of students with low self-efficacy were 70.86 and 69.33. Based on the results, the researchers concluded that CSR and TPRC strategies appeared to improve students’ reading comprehension with high and low self-efficacy.
