The Analysis of the Data

√ √ 8. Determining with formula: 6.76 9. Determining in significance level 5 with degree of freedom df: df = N1+N2 -2 df = 30+30-2 df= 60-2 df= 58 Because the score of 58 was not mentioned in the table, the writer used the closest to 58 which was 60 degree of freedom. Thus, the writer gained : Degree of significance 5 = 2. 00 10. The comparison between and From the calculation above, it was found that the result of was 6.76 and the degree of freedom df was 60. In this research, the writer used the degree of significance 5. It can be seen that degree of freedom df and the degree of significance 5=2.00. By comparing the result of and on the degree of significance 5 2.00, thus the writer summarized that was higher than . It means that alternative hypothesis was accepted and null hypothesis was rejected because . Thus, there was significant difference after teaching reading comprehension by using reciprocal teaching technique at the second grade of SMP Dwi Putra SaruaCiputatTangerang Selatan academic year 20132014.

C. The Interpretation of the Data

Based on the formulations above, the results of the statistic calculation indicated that the result of was 6.76 and the degree of freedom df was 60 while the degree of significance 5 = 2. 00. Comparing to each values of the degree of significance, the writer found that 2.006.76. Thus, was higher than . Because was higher than score obtained from the result of calculating, thus, alternative hypothesis was accepted and null hypothesis was rejected. Based on the explanations above, the writer could interpret that teaching reading comprehension by using the reciprocal teaching technique was success. And also, based on the data that were calculated above, it could be conclude that there was positive influence of reciprocal teaching technique toward students’ reading comprehension. 34

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

A. The Conclusion

This research was conducted to look at the influence of reciprocal teaching technique in teaching reading comprehension. A quasi-experiment research was decided as a design for this research by organizing pre-test and post-test. And that the result of was 6.76 and the degree of freedom df was 60 while the degree of significance 5 = 2.00. Comparing to each values of the degree of significance, the writer found that 2.00 6.76. Thus, was higher than . Based on the quantitative result of this study, it could be concluded that there was positive influence of reciprocal teaching technique toward students reading comprehension. To increase the students’ reading comprehension, the teacher and students worked cooperatively by four steps, those are predicting, questioning, clarifying and summarizing.

B. The Suggestion

After the writer made the conclusion, he tried to make some suggestions. There were some suggestions for the students, the teachers and the next researchers. The first was for the students, reciprocal teaching technique is expected to increase their confidence and bravery to ask a question, to show their argument and also to build their thinking skill. The second was for the teacher, reciprocal teaching technique could be used in teaching reading comprehension, because it was an effective technique to increase their ability in reading comprehension, and become more creative in learning reading text by doing well-steps of the technique. And the last was for the next researchers, the writer would like to provide this skripsi as reference for conducting the research and hopefully it would be useful for them. 35 BIBLIOGRAPHY Alderson, J Charles.
