The Effext Of Using Probing Prompting Method On Students' Critical Reading

Abstract

This research has aimed to investigate the significant effect of using Probing Prompting method on students’ critical reading. This research applied an experimental research. The population of this research were 126 students of SMA PAB 4 Sampali, Percut Sei Tuan on academic year 2017-2018. The researcher was taken the sample by random sampling. Two classes was randomly appointed as treatment. They were XI- IPA 1 that was amounted 20 students and XI IPA 2 were 20 students, total number of sample was 40 then was divided in two groups. Class XI IPA 1 as Experimental group, thaught by using Probing Prompting method and class XI IPA 2 as control group, thaught by using direct method. The instrument of this research was multiple choice test, consist of 20 items. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result showed that = 12,26 was higher than = 2,024 at df was 38 and significance rate was 0,05. Based on the result, the alternative hyphothesis ( ) was accepted. It meant that by using Probing Prompting method gave significant effect on students’ critical reading. So the finding of the study indicated that students’critical reading in learning analytical exposition text by using Probing Prompting method was more significant.
