3.6.2 The implementation of the action
In this research, the implementation of the action was done during the school hours based on the English lesson schedule. The action was teaching reading
narrative text by using SQ3R strategy in two meetings. Then in the third meeting, the researcher gave reading test. In the implementation of the action, the researcher
conducted the action collaboratively with the English teacher during reading teaching learning process. On the first meeting, the researcher taught the students by using
SQ3R strategy and the English teacher was as the observer. For the second meeting, the english teacher taught the students by using SQ3R strategy and the researcher was

3.6.3 Classroom Observation and Evaluation of the Action
Observation was important in Classroom Action Research. The meaning of observation was an activity of observing and writing down systematically about the
situation being investigated. Observation was used to monitor or to record the students’ active participation during reading class in the form of checklist. It could
also guide the researcher to make some correction for the second meeting in the first cycle. The observer was done collaboratively by the researcher and the English
teacher. In the first meeting, the observer was the English teacher and in the second meeting, the observer was the researcher.
Meanwhile, evaluation was conducted to know whether the use of SQ3R strategy can improve the students’ active participation and their reading
comprehension achievement on narrative text. The evaluations used in this research were process and product evaluation. The process evaluation was done by conducting
observation during the reading teaching learning process on narrative text by using SQ3R strategy in every meeting, while the product evaluation was administered at the
end of each cycle in the form of reading comprehension test. The following was the criteria used to evaluate the success of the action;
a. The action was considered as successful if 75 of the students actively
participated in the reading teaching learning process by using SQ3R strategy. b.
The action was considered as successful if at least 75 of the students as the research subject achieved the minimum score that is 75.
