information and for pleasure.
This study is aimed at find is the effectiveness of using Reciprocal
Teaching in teaching reading comprehension of analytical exposition at the
eleventh grade of MAN Kutowinangun in the academic year of 2016/2017.
Recipocal Teaching has four strategies. They are summarizing, questioning,
clarifying, and predicting. The researcher used quantitative research. The
population of the study is 259 students’ the eleventh grade of MAN
Kutowinangun in the academic year of 2016/2017. The samples were two classes,
namely XI IIA 1 is 32 students and XI IIA 2 is 32 students. The total was 64
students.The sample was divided into two groups. Experimental group (XI IIA 1)
was taught by applying Reciprocal Teaching while the control group (XI IIA 2)
was taught without applying Reciprocal Teaching. This samples was chosen by
purposive sampling technique.
This research was conducted by giving pre-test, applying treatment for
experimental group by using reciprocal teaching and common way for control
group, and giving post-test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula to
show the effectiveness of using reciprocal teaching. The result of the research
show the mean score of post-test of experimental group is 75.31 and the mean
score of post-test of control group is 70.28. It means that the result of post-test of
experimental group is higher than control group. The result of t-value is 2.890 and
then the reseacher consult the critical value on the t-table using 5% (0.05) alpha
level significance and the degree of freedom is 1.999. It show that t-value is
higher than t-table that is 2.890 > 1.999. It means that using Reciprocal Teaching
in teaching reading comprehension of analytical exposition text at the eleventh
grade of MAN Kutowinangun in the academic year of 2016/2017 is effective.
