Abstract

In the reading process, the students found the difficulties. This is proven by the students’ score from the preliminary research. There were 59.7% of the students who got the score under 70 as the criteria of minimum mastery. Thus, the new technique was proposed, the technique was Co-op Co-op. The objective of this research is to know whether or not there is a significant effect of using Co-op Coop toward students’ reading comprehension on explanation text. The quasi experimental of quantitative method was used in this research because the sample of the research was not randomized and aimed at improving the students’ reading comprehension. The population of this research was the eleventh grade. The sample was taken out from the population which consisted of three classes; they were try-out class, experimental class and control class. The treatmets were held in three meetings. Lecturing technique as a regular technique was used in control class and Co-op Co-op was used in experimental class. In collecting the data, pre-test and post-test were given for both classes. The data which had been collected was analyzed by using SPSS version 16. The independent sample t-test was used to test the hypotheses because the sample was taken from two different samples and to compare both control and experimental class’ mean. Based on the data analysis which was computed by using SPSS, the value of significant generated Sig (Pvalue) was 0.005 and α = 0.05. In other words, Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected because Sig (Pvalue) 0.005 < 0.05 (α). It can be concluded that there was a significant effect of using Co-op Co-op towards students’ reading comprehension on explanation text of the second semester at the eleventh grade of SMA Negeri 1 Gedong Tataan in the Academic Year 2017/2018
