1.3 Research Question
The problems that become the concerns of the discussion is: 1 How can team-pair-solo improve the students’ achievement in reading
comprehension? 2 What aspects of reading comprehension skills influence the students ’ achievement
in reading comprehension?
1.4 Statement of the Hypothesis
In conducting the experiment of team-pair-solo, working hypothesis are proposed: “Team-pair-solo can improve the students’ achievement in reading comprehension”,
and “All aspects of reading comprehension skills influence the students’ achievement in reading comprehension”.
Besides, the null hypothesis is also proposed since the hypothesis will be statistically analyzed based on the result of the experiment: “Team-pair-solo can not
improve the students’ achievement in reading comprehension”, and “Not all aspects of reading comprehension skills influence the students’ achievement in reading
comprehension”.
1.5 Objective of the Study
A research should have an objective. The objective of the study can be stated as follows:
5
1 To examine whether team-pair-solo can improve the students’ achievement in reading comprehension.
2 To examine what aspects of reading comprehension skills influence the students’ achievement in reading comprehension.
1.6 Significance of the Study
It is expected that the there will be significance of this final project as follows: 1 For the teacher
This study will give contribution to the teachers in improving their strategy to help students comprehend a text.
