23. Instrumen peneliatian ini adalah menggunakan test pilihan ganda dengan jumlah soal 25. Untuk menganalisa data, penulis menggunakan rata-rata, simpangan pokok, dan uji hipotesis menggunakan t-test.
Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata dari pre-test adalah 54.97 dan simpangan pokok 16.96 sedangkan rata-rata dari post-test adalah 77.39 dan simpangan pokok 17,4. Untuk uji hipotesis memperoleh t(obtained) 11,7 pada tabel ±2.074, df=22 dan tingkat signifikan (α) 0.05.
O
Penulis menyimpulkan bahwa null hipotesis (H ) ditolak dan alternatif
a
hipotesis (H ) diterima karena t(obtained) jatuh pada critical region.Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara pemehaman membaca siswa pada kelas delapan dari MTs Roudlotusysyubban Pati pada tahun ajaran 2018/2019 sebelum dan sesudah diajar menggunakan strategi PQ4R.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, strategi PQ4R efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan kepemahaman membaca siswa khususnya pada kelas delapan dari MTs Roudlotusysyubban Pati pada tahun ajaran 2018/2019.
