Improving Students’ Reading Comprehension on Narrative Text by
out the effect of certain treatment on other.

And because the sample of this research is not selected randomly, the Quasi Experimental Design is used as
the design of this research. As stated by Creswell that when the sample of the research is not taken randomly, then the procedure is called quasi-experiment.
2
In order to find out whether or not the SQ3R method has the influence on students‟ reading comprehension, a Quasi Experimental Design is used in this
study. There are two kinds of designs in Quasi Experiment; Time Series Design and Nonequivalent Control Group Design.
3
In this case, the writer used Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The Nonequivalent Control Group
Design is a quasi-experimental research design where the treatment was given only to the experimental group, while the pre-test and post-test are given to
both of the control group and experimental group, and the control and experiment group are not selected randomly.

To be concluded, a quantitative method was used as a method for this research, while the design of the research was Quasi Experimental by using
Nonequivalent Control Group Design.
