formulating the hypothesis. In addition, rating scale table and observation of students’ activity during teaching learning process were used in this research.
Here is the blueprint of rating score:
Table 3.3 The Blueprint of Rating Score in Observation
Rating score Quality
5.0 Bad
5.0 —6.9
Enough 7.0
—8.9 Satisfactory
9.0 —10
Good
Based on the blueprint of rating score above, there are 4 grade of rating score started from 5.0 to 10. In each rating score has its own quality: 5.0 described
the quality of bad, 5.0 —6.9 described the quality of enough, 7.0—8.9 described
the quality of satisfactory, and the last 9.0 —10 described the quality of good.
2. Quantitative Analysis The process of analyzing quantitative data is based on students’ test score by
using a simple statistic. The formula is as follow:

To know the mean score of students’ reading score in one cycle. The
researcher used this formula: X =
Σ
x
N Explanation: X
:
average score X: Individual score
N: number of students To know the class percentage, the writer uses the formula:
P = F x 100 N

Explanation: P: the class percentage F: the frequency of students who passed the KKM
N: number of students.
I. Trustworthiness
After collecting and analyzing data, the researcher need to make sure that the findings and interpretations are accurate. The accuracy of the findings is important
in qualitative research since in qualitative research the word bias is do not typically used by the researcher. Thus, there are a set of procedures to help ensure
that the standards of trustworthiness would be met. For validity credibility, this research used three terms: peer debriefing and triangulation.

1. Peer debriefing Researcher also checks her finding by exposing the result of the study in the
form of analytical discussion with her friends and her academic advisor. The friends chosen in this section were competent in terms of teaching and learning,
especially reading skills, and had applied the research methodology used in this study. In addition, the researcher also consulted the result findings with her
academic advisor in order to check the validity and the reliability of them. In discussing it, the writer got many feedbacks and guidance toward the result
finding that should be, and all of the data was analyze and studied which later become the consideration for clarifying the interpretation.
2. Triangulation Triangulation is the process of corroborating evidence towards finding,
analyzing, and interpreting data that comes from different individuals that consists of teacher and students, types of data that consists of observation, questionnaire,
and test, or methods of data collection that consists of observation, questionnaire, and test. This ensures that the study will be accurate because the information
draws on multiple sources of information, individuals, or processes. In this study,
