Ling.Key words: Group Investigation Technique, ReadingThis study was conducted to investigate the effects of Group Investigation Technique (GIT) in Teaching Reading at the SecondGrade Students of Madrasah Aliyah Dayah Jeumala Amal Bandar Baru, Pidie Jaya.An experimental design was used and the datawere collected through a test as the instrument. Two set of tests (pre- test and post- test) in the form of multiple choice items wereadministrated. Each test consisted of 20 questions with 5 options. Then, the population of this study was all the second gradestudents of MA Dayah Jeumala Amal Bandar Baru, Pidie Jaya, and two classes were taken as the samples for the experimentalgroup and control group. A number of36 students participated for the experimental group and 32 students for thecontrol group.Thefinding of this study showed that GIT used in teaching readingimproved studentsâ€™ reading comprehension. The experimentalgroup students have higher reading scores (x Ì… = 77) than those of control group (x Ì… = 64). The studentsâ€™ reading ability inboth groups was different as indicated by z-score. The z-score shows that the result of z-count is 4,29. While the result of z-table atthe level of significance 5% (Î± = 0,05) is around -2,04 - 2,04. It means that the z-count is higher than z-table (4,29>-2,04 â€“ 2,04).Therefore, the alternate hypotheses is accepted and null hypotheses is rejected. In other words, it can be concluded that the studentswho were taught throughGITobtain a better achievement in reading than those who were taught through individual reading activity.
