Abstract

The purposes of this study is to determine whether or not the schema theory technique is effective to improve students‟ reading comprehension of secondgrade SMPN 24 Mataram students. Experimental study was selected as the research methodology. The population for this survey consisted of 109 secondgrade students and the sample were 20 students for each class. Both classes were selected using the technique of purposive sampling. The data were collected using testing instruments that were separated into three data collection procedures: pretest, treatment, and post-test. In both classes, a pre-test was administered to assess the students' prior knowledge of the subject matter at hand. The mean pre-test scores of the experimental class were 63.50 and those of the control class were 62.25. In the treatment section, schema theory technique was applied to the experimental class while the control class taught without schema theory technique. In order to determine whether or not there was a positive effect on students' reading comprehension, a post-test was administered to both classes, with an average score of 79.25 in the experimental class and 66.75 in the control class. Then, the data were analyzed using the t-test formula for identification and numerical data. The research revealed that the t-test score was 7.79, which was greater than the value of t-table 2.024 at the 95% confidence level and 38 degrees of freedom. As a result, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected, and as a result, the schema theory technique is effective to enhance reading comprehension achievement among second-grade SMPN 24 Mataram students.
