Population and Sample Technique of Data Analysis

g. Decide the interval, frequency, and percentage of students’ reading achievement h. Examine the normality test of reading comprehension strategy i. Examine the homogeneity of both variables: reading comprehension strategy and reading achievement. j. Examine linear regression to test the hypothesis at SPSS 16.0

F. Statistical Hypothesis

Statistically, research hypothesis is expressed as follow: H = ρ = 0 H 1 = ρ  1. Null Hypothesis H o H o = “Questioning strategy does not influences students’ achievement in reading “. Or, 2. Alternative Hypothesis H a H a = “Questioning Strategy influences students’ achievement in reading” The assumption if the hypothesis as follows: If F-ratio F o F-table F t , the Null Hypothesis H o is accepted and alternative hypothesis H a is rejected. It means that questioning strategy does not influence students’ achievement in reading. If F- ratio F o F-table F t , the Null Hypothesis H o is rejected and alternative hypothesis H a is accepted. It means that questioning strategy influences students’ achievement in reading. 28

CHAPTER IV RESEARCH FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION

In this chapter, the writer will discuss the research findings about students’ questioning strategy and students’ reading achievement. The first step, the writer will discuss the description of students’ questionnaires scores which is regarded as students’ reading comprehension strategy. Then the writer will show the students’ score of Reading I subject. Hence the writer will describe the data analysis which consists of the normality and homogeneity test. Furthermore, the writer will report the result of linear regression which examines the hypothesis of the study.

A. Data Description

The research data consists of questioning as a reading comprehension strategy as an independent variable and reading achievement as a dependent variable. The data had been collected through questionnaire to know the students reading strategy used and documentation about students’ reading achievement which was obtained based on students’ final score of reading 1 subject. The data description shows mean, median mode, the minimum and maximum score of reading comprehension strategy and reading achievement. All of those data description will be discussed in the following discussion comprehensively.

1. Students’ Reading Strategy

Stud ents’ reading strategy is questioning strategy used by students specifically in questioning. T o know the students’ reading strategy, the writer distributed questionnaire to students of English Education Department academic year 20132014 of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta as the object of the study. After collecting the data of students’ reading strategy, the writer calculated the questionnaire by using SPSS 16.0 to know the students’ total score of their reading comprehension strategy. To see whether students used reading comprehension strategy, it could be claimed based on their lowest or highest score of questionnaire score. In addition, the students’ reading comprehension strategy described in the following table.
