questionnaire will be summed based on their response from score 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in each item.
2. Documentation The writer
gathered students’ reading achievement based on the final score of their reading 1 subject. The writer did not administer reading
test to know the students’ achievement. The writer documented students’ reading achievement based on students’ reading achievement of Reading 1
subject which obtained from the lecture of Reading 1 subject. Then the students’ final score consists of students’ formative score including novel
presentation, middle test score which is including of theory of Reading I, and final test score which is including of application of theory Reading I.
Those scores then calculated to be their final score of Reading I subject.
D. Population and Sample
The population of the study is the first semester students of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta which consist of three classes, namely IA, IB, and IC. The
total number of population was 75 students. In selecting the sample, the writer used purposive sampling technique. This technique is used to determine the
sample with certain consideration.
7
There were 40 students were taken from each class as the representative because the students almost have same ability in middle
test of reading achievement. It can be seen from their middle test in reading 1 achievement.
E. Technique of Data Analysis
This research used software of SPSS 16.0 to analyze the data. After getting the data from questionnaire and documentation, furthermore it is important to analyze
the data to examine the hypothesis. This research used linear regression to investigate between the influence of q
uestioning strategy and students’ achievement in reading. Hence, linear regression is regression analysis which is

used to learn the functional relationship between the variables.
8
Therefore, linear regression is appropriate to be used to test the causal relationship between two
variables. Basically, linear regression is different with linear correlation; linear correlation is used to test between the relationship of two variables and the degree
of variable X and Y can be changed their position or it can be said it is a vice versa relationship. While the linear regression, the degree of the variables X and Y
cannot be changed or it can be said it is a causal relationship.
9
Furthermore, this study used F-test to test the hypothesis. F-test is used to examine the influence of
independent variable and dependent variable.

After obtaining the questionnaire and documentation, then the writer will analyze data
of questionnaire score and students’ reading achievement score into some steps:
a. Analyze the scor e of students’ reading strategy and then input them in the
SPSS 16.0 b.
Input the score of students’ reading achievement into SPSS 16.0. c. Decide the Mean value from variable 1 questioning strategy
d. Decide the Mean value from variable 2 students’ achievement in reading
d. Decide the maximum and minimum score of reading strategy and reading achievement.
e. Decide the mode, median and the sum of reading strategy and reading achievement.
f. Decide the interval, frequency, and percentage of students’ reading
comprehension strategy

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.
