was multiple choices test. There were four options A, B, C, and D. The writer gives score 4 for the correct answer and 0 for the wrong answer. It means that students will
get 100 score if they answer all questions correctly.
E. Technique of Data Analysis
Before calculating the relationship between students’ learning style and their
reading comprehension of narrative text using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Formula, the writer will conduct the testing requirement analysis; namely normality
and linearity. 1. Normality
Normality test is done to determine a normal distribution of data. The data in this research will be analyzed by SPSS version 22. In SPSS, there are two kinds of
normality test: Kolmogrov Smirnov Test and Shapiro Wilk Test. The criterion of SPSS:
a. If respondents 50, the normality test uses Kolmogrov Smirnov. b. If respondents 50, the normality test used Shapiro Wilk.
Because the respondents of this study were below 50, the normality test used Shapiro Wilk Test.
The variable is: a. A normal data distribution if the value of significance sig 0.05.
b. An abnormal data distribution if the value of significance sig 0.05.
2. Linearity
After computing normality test then the writer did linearity test. Thus, linearity test is used to know the relation between dependent and independent variable. The
variables have linearity based on the testing criteria, as follows:
a. If the value of significance sig 0.05, it means that the variable is linear. b. If the value of significance sig 0.05, it means that the variable is not linear.
After that the writer used the correlation formula by Pearson Product Moment Correlation to test the significance relationship between both of variables. The
formula used as follows:
a. Finding the number of correlation using formula: ∑ ∑ ∑
√ ∑ ∑ ∑ ∑
r : product moment correlation coefficient of variable X and Y
N : the total number of samples
X : the students’ score in students’ learning style
Y : the students’ score in their reading comprehension of narrative text
ΣX : the sum of the students’ learning style scores ΣY : the sum of their reading comprehension of narrative text scores
ΣX² :the sum of squares of students’ learning stylescores ΣY² : the sum of squares of their reading comprehension of narrative text scores
ΣX² : the squares of the sum of students’ learning style scores ΣY² :the squares of the sum of their reading comprehension of narrative text
scores ΣXY : the sum multiple of students’ learning style scores and their reading
comprehension of narrative text scores The result of correlation coefficient is then being interpreted to find out it is
strength. The following is to interpret the result of correlation coefficient
