The table above showed us the comparison of pre-test score achieved by
experimental and control group students, both class’ achievement are at the same
level. It can be seen that from the students’ score. The highest score 70 and the
lowest score 40, both experimental and control group. It meant that the
experimental and control group have the same level in reading comprehension
before getting the treatment.
a. The Result of Pretest Score of ExperimentalGroup (XI IPS-1)
Based on the data above, it was known the highest score was 70 and the
lowest score was 40. To determine the range of score, the class interval, and
interval of temporary,the writer calculated using formula as follows:
The Highest Score (H)

= 70

The Lowest Score (L)

= 40

The Range of Score (R)

=H–L+1
= 70 – 40+ 1
= 31

The Class Interval (K)

= 1 + (3.3) x Log n

51

= 1 + (3.3) x Log 40
= 1 + 5.2867979
= 6.2867979
=6
Interval of Temporary (I) =

𝑅

𝐾

=

31
6

= 5.1 = 5

So, the range of score was 31, the class interval was 6, and interval of
temporary was 5. Then, it was presented using frequency distribution in the
following table:

b. The Result of Pretest Score of ControlGroup (XI IPS-2)
Based on the data pretest score of control group, it was known the
highest score was 70 and the lowest score was 40. To determine the range of
score, the class interval, and interval of temporary,the writer calculated using
formula as follows:
The Highest Score (H)

= 70

The Lowest Score (L)

The table above showed us the comparison of post-test score achieved by
experimental and control group students. Both class’ achievement have different
score. It can be seen from the highest score 86.7 and 76.7 and the lowest score

60

56.7 and 53.3. It meant that the experimental and control group have the different
level in reading comprehension after getting the treatment.
a. The Result of Post-test Score of Experimental Group (XI IPS-1)
Based on the data Post-test score of Experimental group, it was known the
highest score was 86.7 and the lowest score was 56.7. To determine the range of
score, the class interval, and interval of temporary, the writer calculated using
formula as follows:
The Highest Score (H)

= 86.7

The Lowest Score (L)

= 56.7

The Range of Score (R)

=H–L+1
= 86.7 – 56.7 + 1
= 31

The Class Interval (K)

= 1 + (3.3) x Log n
= 1 + (3.3) x Log 40
= 1 + 5.2867979
= 6.2867979

Figure 4.3 The distribution of students’ predicate in post-test score
of Experimental Group
Based on the figure above, it can be seen about the students’ predicate in
pretest score. There was no student who got Fail predicate. There
wereninestudentswho got Less predicate. There were seventeenstudents who

gotEnoughPredicate. There were thirteen students who got Good predicate. There
was one student who got Excellent predicate.
The next step, the writer tabulated the scores into the table for the
calculation of mean,median, modus, standard deviation, and standard error as
follows:

b. The Result of Post-test Score of Control Group (XI IPS-2)
Based on the data Post-test score of control group, it was known the highest
score was 76.7 and the lowest score was 53.3. To determine the range of score,
the class interval, and interval of temporary, the writer calculated using formula as
follows:
The Highest Score (H)

= 76.7

The Lowest Score (L)

= 53.3

The Range of Score (R)

=H–L+1

64

= 76.7 – 53.3 + 1
= 24.4
The Class Interval (K)

= 1 + (3.3) x Log n
= 1 + (3.3) x Log 36
= 1 + 5.1357928
= 6.1357928

So, the range of score was 24.4, the class interval was 6, and interval of

the tobserved was higher than the ttable at 5% and 1% significance level or 2.733> 2.000,
2.733> 2.660.It meant Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. It could be interpreted
based on the result of calculation that Ha stating that Context Clues was effective

for Teaching Reading Comprehension of the elevent grade students at SMA
Negeri 3 Palangka Raya was accepted and Ho stating that Context Clues was not
effective for Teaching Reading Comprehension of the eleventh grade students
at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya was rejected. It meant that teaching reading with
Context Clues in Reading Comprehension of the eleventh grade students at

SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya gave significant effect at 5% and 1% significance
level.

The table showed the result of t – test calculation using SPSS 21.0 program.
To know the variances score of data, the formula could be seen as follows:
If Sig. > 0,01 = Equal variances assumed
If Sig. < 0,01 = Equal variances not assumed
Based on data above, significant data was 0,174. The result was 0,174> 0,01,
it meant the t-test calculation used at the equal variances assumed. It found that the
result of tobserved was 2.910, the result of mean difference between experiment and
control group was 4.57167, and thestandard error difference between experiment and
control group was 1.57100.
a. Interpretation
The result of t – test was interpreted on the result of degree of freedom to get
the ttable. The result of degree of freedom (df) was 74. The following table was the
result of tobserved and ttable from 74 df at 5% and 1% significance level.

The interpretation of the result of t-test using SPSS 21.0 program, it was found
the tobserved was higher than the ttable at 5% and 1% significance level or 2.910> 2.000,
2.910> 2.660.It meant Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. It could be interpreted
based on the result of calculation that Ha stating that Context Clues was effective

for Teaching Reading Comprehension of the eleventh grade students at SMA
Negeri 3 Palangka Raya was accepted and Ho stating that Context Clues was not
effective for Teaching Reading Comprehension of the eleventh grade students
at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya was rejected. It meant that teaching reading with
Context Clues in Reading Comprehension of the eleventh grade students at

SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya gave significant effect at 5% and 1% significance
level.

D. Discussion

The result of analysis showed that there was significant effect of Context
Clues in Reading Comprehension forthe eleventh grade students at SMA
Negeri 3Palangka Raya.The students who were taught used Context Clues
reached higher score than those who were taught without used Context
Clues.

Meanwhile, after the data was calculated using manual calculation of ttest. It
was found the tobserved was higher than the ttable at 5% and 1% significance level or
2.733> 2.000, 2.733> 2.660. It meant Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. And the

data calculated using SPSS 21.0 program, it was found the tobserved was higher than
the ttable at 5% and 1% significance level or 2.910> 2.000, 2.910> 2.660. It meant Ha
was accepted and Ho was rejected.This finding indicated that the alternative

hypothesis (Ha) stating that there was any significant effect of Context Clues in
Reading Comprehension for the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 3
Palangka Raya was accepted.On the contrary,the Null hypothesis (Ho) stating
that there was no any significant effect of Context Clues in Reading
Comprehension for the eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka
Raya was rejected.Based on the result the data analysis showed that using
Context Clues gave significance effect for the students’ reading comprehension
scores of eleventh grade students at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya.
After the students have been taught by using Context Clues, the reading
score were higher than before implementing Context Clues as a learning strategy.
It can be seen in the comparison of pre test and post test score of experimental
group and control group (See p.67). This finding indicated that Context Clues was
effective and supports the previous research done by Seyed Jalal Abdolmanafi
Rokni and Hamid Reza Niknaqshthat also stated learning reading by using
Context Clues was effective.
There were some reason why using Context Clues gave significance effect
for the students’ reading comprehension scores of eleventh grade students at SMA

Negeri 3 Palangka Raya.First, Context Clues was effective in terms of improving
the students’ English reading score. It can be seen from the improvement of
the students’ score average in the post-test. From the mean score of control and
experiment were 64.8 and 60.2. (See p.68).
It was suitable withthe result of pre-test and post test for Experiment and
control Group. (See p.48). In the pre-test of experiment group there were twenty
eightstudents that got fail predicate. They were E-01, E-03, E-04, E-05, E-07, E08, E-09, E-10, E-11, E-12, E-15,E-19, E-20, E-21, E-23, E-24, E-25, E-26, E-29,
E-30, E-32, E-33, E-34, E-35, E-36, E-37, E-38, and E-39. There were nine
students that got less predicate. They were E-06, E-14, E-17, E-18, E-22, E-27, E28, E-31, and E-40. There was no student that got enough predicate. There were
three students that got good predicate. Theywere E-02,E-13, E-16. Then, in the
pre-test score of control group there were twenty six students that got fail
predicate. They were C-01, C-05, C-06, C-07, C-12, C-13, C-14, C-15, C-16, C17, C-18, C-19, C-22, C-23, C-24, C-25, C-26, C-27, C-28, C-29, C-30, C-31, C32, C-33, C-35, and C-36. There were nine students that got less predicate. They
were C-02, C-03, C-04, C-08, C-09, C-10, C-11, C-20, and C-34. There was no
student that got enough predicate. There was one student that got good predicate.
He was C-21.
Based on the result of post-test for experimental and control group, (See
p.58). In the experimental group, there was no student that got in fail predicate.
There were nine students that got less predicate, they were E-01, E-07, E-18, E23, E-27, E-29, E-35, E-37, and E-40. There were seventeen students that got

enough predicate. They were E-04, E-06, E-08, E-10, E-11, E-12, E-15, E-16, E17, E-21, E24, E-26, E-28, E-32, E-33, E-36, and E-38. There were thirteen
students that got good predicate. They were E-02, E-03, E-05, E-09, E-14, E-19,
E-20, E-22, E-25, E-30, E-31, E-34, and E-39. There was one student that got
excellent predicate, she was E-13. In the control group, there was no student that
got in fail predicate. There were sixteen students that got less predicate. They
were C-01, C-05, C-06, C-09, C-10, C-13, C-15, C-21, C-22, C-23, C-24, C-28,
C-31, C-33, C-34, and C-36. There were sixteen students that got enough
predicate. They were C-02, C-03, C-04, C-07, C-11, C-12, C-14, C-16, C-19, C20, C-25, C-26, C-29, C-30, C-32, and C-35. There were four students that got
good predicate. They were C-08, C-17, C-18, and C-27.
Those are the result of pre-test compared with post-test for experimental
group and control group of students at SMA Negeri 3 Palangka Raya. Based on
the theories and the writer’s result, Context Clues gave significance effect for the
students’ reading comprehension scores of Eleventh grade students at SMA
Negeri 3 Palangka Raya.
