is accepted if p value sig. 0.05 The result of homogeneity test from table 4.4 shows that p value 0.05 in
which the p value, 0.71 is greater than 0.05 or 0.050.71. Based on the criteria of test above, it means that H

is accepted and H

is rejected. In conclusion, the variance of the data is homogenous.
4. The Analysis of the Data
1. The Testing of Hypothesis
The testing of hypothesis is aimed to examine between two variables which are questioning strategy as an independent variable and reading achievement as a
dependent variable. Then based on the test of normality and homogeneity tests, the results show that the data are normally distributed and the variance of the data is
homogenous. Hence, the writer analyzed the data between two variables by using

linear regression and F-test ANOVA in SPSS 16.0 to see whether questioning strategy influences
students’ achievement in reading. Furthermore, based on the calculation of SPSS 16.00, the data gathered as follow:
