Abstract

The Use of Authentic Reading Materials and Cooperative Learning Strategy to Improve Reading Comprehension Ability of Vocational School Students. Objective: The research aimed to investigate the correlation between students’ perception on authentic materials and cooperative strategy on their reading achievement. Method: Three hypotheses were tested: a. perception on authentic materials and reading comprehension; b. perception on cooperative strategy and reading comprehension, and c. perception on authentic materials and cooperative strategy toward reading achievement. Findings: The reliability of reading test was rii = 0.96; perception on authentic materials was rii = 0.913; and that of the cooperative strategy was rii = 0.862. Conclusion: a. There is a positive correlation between perception on X1 and Y, Y = 11.046 + 0.270; X1 coefficient correlation r13 = 0.431. b. There is a significant effect of X2 on Y, Y = 11.350 + 0.625, X2 coefficient correlation r23 = 0.411. c. There is significant effect of X1 on X2, X1 = 5.314 + 0.974, X2 coefficient correlation r12 = 0.436.

Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji korelasi antara persepsi tentang bahan bacaan autentik dan strategi kooperatif terhadap kemampuan membaca siswa SMKN di Bandar Lampung. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes kemampuan membaca dan kusioner. Populasinya adalah semua siswa di kelas sebelas. Metode: Tiga hipotesis diuji: a. Persepsi tentang X1 dan Y; b. Persepsi tentang X2 dan Y; dan c. Perspsi tentang X1 dan X2 terhadap Y. Temuan: Tryout dilakukan untuk memastikan validitas dan reliabilitas. Reliabilitas Y: rii = 0.96; reliabilitas X1: rii = 0.913; dan reliabilitas X2: rii = 0.862. regresi multiple menggunakan á= 0.05. Kesimpulan: a. terdapat korelasi positif antara X1 dengan Y, Y = 11.046 + 0.270; X1 r13 = 0.431. b. Terdapat korelasi positif signifikan dari X2 dengan Y, Y = 11.350 + 0.625; X2 r23 = 0.411. c. Terdapat korelasi positif signifikan antara X1 dan X2 dengan Y, X1 = 5.314 + 0.974; X2 = r12 = 0.4360. Kata kunci: bahan bacaan autentik, strategi kooperatif, kemampuan memahami bacaan.
