2.1 Review of the Previous Study

There are some researchers use the same method to teach reading. One of them is Sri Sukarsih, a post graduate student in Yogyakarta State University. She did a research about Directed Reading Thinking Activity in her Thesis. She uses this method to improve the students‟ ability in reading comprehension in elementary school. The title of her research is Pengembangan Model Directed Reading Thinking Activity untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Membaca Pemahaman untuk Siswa SD in 2009 education year. The result of the research that the quality of the DRTA model reading for elementary school students is categorized as good with the average score of 4.20 on a 1-5 scale. The learning aspect shows the average score of 4.26 and the content aspect is 4.36. The pretest and the posttest conducted in the experimental research show that using DRTA has good impact in students learning mastery. Finally, the percentage of learning mastery after use this model is 83.87. It is included in the category of very good. The other research about DRTA is the final project which the title is The Use of Directed Reading Thinking Activity Method in Teaching Narrative Text. It is a research by Dian Puspita Sari, undergraduate student from Semarang State University. This final project was conducted based on a study that was attempted to examine the use of DRTA in teaching narrative text. The result of the research showed that the average score pre test of the experimental group was 62.67 and the post test was 75.78. Meanwhile, the average score pre test of the control group was 60.53 and the post test was 68.56. Based on the result above, DRTA method gave a great contribution to improve reading skill in narrative. From the review of the another research, I hope the result of my research also shows that DRTA can improve the ability of the Senior High School students in reading hortatory exposition text.
