connection, and remember. In this research, post-reading was conducted by doing the following activities:
a. Asking the students to answer their questions about the main
points of the text by writing the answer on some pieces of paper without looking at the reading text and it can be said as
recitation b.
Asking the students to review all the answer, the main points and the whole reading process that they have done in the
previous step c.
Guiding the students to draw conclusion d.
Asking the students’ problems e.
Giving solutions to the students’ problems
2.6 The Action Hypothesis of the Research
Based on the review of related literature and the research problems, the research action hypothesis can be formulated as follows:
1. The use of SQ3R strategy can improve the eleventh grade IPA 3
students’ active participation in the teaching learning process of reading narrative text at MAN 2 Jember.
2. The use of SQ3R Strategy can improve the eleventh grade IPA 3
students’ reading comprehension achievement on narrative text at MAN 2 Jember.

CHAPTER 3. RESEARCH METHODS
This chapter presents the discussion about the research methods applied in this research. It covers research design, area determination method, research subject
determination method, data collection method, and the research procedure. Each part is presented in the following section respectively.
3.1 Research Design
This research was intended to improve the eleventh IPA 3 class students’
reading comprehension achievement. Therefore, the design of this research was
Classroom Action Research. According to Elliot 1991:69, an action research is the study of a social situation with a view to improve the quality of action within it. In
addition, Mills 2003:1 in Hopkins 2008:48 states that an action research is any systematic inquiry conducted by teacher researchers to gather information about the
ways that their particular school operates, how they teach, and how well their students learn. Further, McMillan 1992:12 argues that a classroom action research is a type
of applied research with the purpose to solve a specific problem or to make decision at a single local site. In short, it can be concluded that a classroom action research is
an appropriate research design to solve the problem of the teacher and the students in the classroom.
In this research, a classroom action research with cycle was applied. Each cycle covered four activities: planning the action, implementing the action, doing the
observation and evaluation, analyzing data and doing reflection Elliot, 1991:69. This classroom action research was conducted collaboratively with the
English teacher who taught the eleventh grade IPA3 class of MAN 2 Jember. The collaboration was focused on identifying the research problems dealing with the
reading comprehension in the classroom, carrying out the action in teaching reading, doing class observation, doing reflection and analyzing the implementation of the
