Technique of Data Collection

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 1 : 1 Suharsimi Arikunto, Prosedur Penelitian, Jakarta: Rineka Cipta, 2013, p. 319. Table 3. 3 Correlation Coefficient Table Product Moment r Correlation 0.00 —0.20 Very Low 0.20 —0.40 Low 0.40 —0.70 Moderate 0.70 —0.90 High 0.90 —1.00 Very High b. To know the significance between two variables, the formula of the significance test is: √ √ : r : value of correlation coefficient n : number of participants

F. Statistical Hypothesis

The statistical hypothesis of this study can be seen as: H : There is no relationship between students’ learning style and their reading comprehension of narrative text at eighth grade students of MTs.Izzatul Islam Bogor. H a : There is a relationship between students’ learning style and their reading comprehension of narrative text at eighth grade students of MTs.Izzatul Islam Bogor. The criteria used as follows: 1. If r o r t = H a is rejected, H o is accepted. It means that there is a significant relationship between students’ learning style and their reading comprehension of narrative text at the eighth grade of MTs. Izzatul Islam Bogor. 2. If r o r t = H a is rejected, H o is accepted. It means that there is no significant relationship between students’ learning style and their reading comprehension of narrative text at the eighth grade of MTs. Izzatul Islam Bogor.
