indicated that 46.9 of the students were attended the study had a better reading comprehension as compared to the students who were taught without using SQ3R
strategy. Based on the previous explanation, we can know that SQ3R Strategy can
improve the student’s reading comprehension achievement and their active participation in reading classroom. Therefore, the researcher is interested in
conducting a research entitled “Improving the Eleventh Grade IPA3 Class
Students’ Participation and Their Reading Comprehension Achievement on Narrative Text by Using SQ3R Strategy at MAN
2 Jember”.
1.2 Problems of the research
Based on the background of the research above, the problems of the research are formulated as follows:
1. Can the use of SQ3R Strategy improve the Eleventh Grade IPA 3
Class Stu dents’ Active Participation in the Teaching Learning Process
of Reading Narrative Text at MAN 2 Jember? 2.
Can the use of SQ3R Strategy improve the Eleventh Grade IPA 3 Class Students’ Reading Comprehension Achievement on Narrative
Text at MAN 2 Jember?
1.3 Objectives of the Research
Based on the research problems, the objectives of the research were as follows:
1. To improve the Eleventh Grade IPA 3 Class Stu dents’ Active
Participation in the Teaching Learning Process of Reading Narrative Text at MAN 2 Jember.
2. To improve the Eleventh Grade IPA 3 Class Students’ Reading
Comprehension Achievement on Narrative Text by using SQ3R Strategy at MAN 2 Jember.
1.4 Significance Of The research
The results of the present classroom action research are expected to give
significant input for the following people:
1.4.1 The English Teacher
Hopefully, the whole process and also the result of this research are expected to be useful as an input for the English teacher especially in teaching
reading. The teacher can apply an active strategy that can improve students’ achievement and their participation in the classroom rather than traditional
strategy. The English teacher can use SQ3R strategy in teaching reading comprehension on narrative text.
1.4.2 The students of the Eleventh Grade IPA 3 Class
The action of this research is expected to give motivation and enthusiasm in learning English especially on reading comprehension on
Narrative text. Hopefully, by using SQ3R strategy in learning English, the students can get input to improve their reading comprehension achievement
and also their active participation in learning English. They can also think critically by themselves and will not always depend on the explanation of the
teacher. 1.4.3
The Future Researchers The results of this research are expected to be useful for the future
researchers as important information in improving students’ participation and their reading comprehension achievement in the different level and different
design such as experimental research.
