CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
A. Conclusion
Based on the result of this study, it was found that there was a significant effect of using PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy
on the students’ reading comprehension of argumentative text. The researcher found that the
students’ comprehension taught by using PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy was higher than the students’ comprehension taught without PLAN
Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy. It was indicated from analyzing the data statistically that the result of calculation of t
-observed
value 5.83 was higher than t
- table
2.00 at the significance level of 0.05, which implied that the Alternative Hypothesis Ha was acceptable.
After analyzing the da ta, it was found that the students’ score in
comprehending argumentative text was significantly affected by using PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy. The using of PLAN Predict, Locate, Add,
Note strategy has improved the st udents’ reading comprehension of
argumentative text than by using control group . As the pre-test and the post-
test were done. The students’ scores in experimental group were more secced to pass the minimum standard level than in
control group. Therefore, it is concluded that there is a significant effect of Using PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy on students’ reading comprehension
of argumentative text.
B.Suggestion
The findings of this study have showed that the using of PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy h
ave improved the students’ comprehension of argumentative text. Based on the conclusion given, the writer suggest that :
1. English teacher should apply PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy in their teaching learning process so that they can improve their students reading
comprehension because this strategy is designed as a way to develop their active students’ prior knowlegde that related to the reading text. So it is
expected for the students to understand the text easily. 2. students should apply this learning strategy in comprehending a text because it
can stimulate students’ critical thinking when the students relate their background knowledge with reading text. Therefore, the students will find by
using PLAN Predict, Locate, Add, Note strategy is easier to comrehend text. 3. The readers who are interested for further study related to this research should
explore the knowledge their understanding about how to improve reading comprehension and search another references.
