Abstract :
Reading comprehension is the ability to understand and read accurately
written material. This includes knowledge of intent, purpose, and textual context,
as well as the capacity to recognize and gather critical information. Reading
comprehension skills are important both in education and in the workplace, even
in everyday life. Apart from that, of course, there are several problems that
become a concern in this matter. The first and most basic problem is the one that
students have academically: their knowledge of understanding the goals and main
ideas of English texts is still relatively low, with minimal knowledge of
vocabulary and antonyms as well as word synonyms in the text. The purpose of
this study is to determine the effect of the cooperative script technique on firstgrade students' reading comprehension at SMA Negeri 4 Kediri.
The research method used in this study was quantitative with a preexperimental technique. The techniques of collecting data used were pre-test,
treatment, and post-test. A pre-test was implemented before treatment, while a
post-test was applied after treatment. The populations of the research were 393
students and the samples of the research were 34 students. The data analysis used
was a T-test counted with SPSS version 23.
The result showed that the average score of the pre-test was 58.82, while
the post-test was 81.18. The score of the post-test was higher than the pre-test,
with the mean score of the pre-test being 58.82 and the mean score of the post-test
being 81.18. The standard deviation of the pre-test was 14.876 and the standard
deviation of the post-test was 5.084, with a significant (2-tailed) value lower than
0.05 (<0.05). Thus, it can be said that Cooperative Script had a significant effect
on the students' reading comprehension in the first grade at SMAN 4 Kediri.
Based on the result of the research, the researcher suggests the cooperative script
technique can be implemented by teacher in other English skills.
The researchers also generated many ideas as material for discussion. This
method will assist students in improving their reading comprehension skills and
correctly reading English. Because it is effective in overcoming students'
problems in learning English, English teachers might utilize Cooperative Script to
increase reading comprehension. The researcher advocated using the
Cooperative Script Technique not only in learning reading but also in all forms of
English abilities in future studies and they are expected to conduct the study by
offering more treatment. As a result, future researchers may improve their
investigations by incorporating new techniques and designs.
