The aim of this study is to discover the effect of applying SQ3R method in reading comprehension. Experimental research design is used as the research method. This research took place at MTS AMIN DARUSSALAM MEDAN. There were 2 classes chosen as the sample with 32 students in each class. The classes were divided into two groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group taught by using SQ3R method and the control group was taught by using conventional method. The instrument used to collect the data was a set of multiple choice tests, which divided as pre test and post test. The result of the research was analyzed by using t-test formula. The result showed that t-test was higher than t-table ( 3,93> 2,00 ) at the level of significant 0,05 with degree of freedom (df) 60. It means that hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted which shows that SQ3R method significantly improves the student’s reading comprehension.

This study was conducted as an attempt to find out the effect of Think Pair Share Strategy on students’ reading comprehension achievement. This research used the experimental design. The population of this research was the students of SMP Budisatrya. The Sample of this research was the 2014/2015 seventh grade students of SMP Budisatrya with the total number 40 of students as sample taken by using random sampling technique. The research was divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The instrument used to collect the data was multiple choice tests of pre-test and post-test. To obtain the result of the reliability of the test, the Kuder Richardson formula (KR21) was used. The result of the calculation showed that the reliability of the test was significant. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis showed that t- value was higher than t- table (2.46>2, 021) at the level of significance 0,05 with the degree of freedom (df) 38. Therefore, null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted. It means that there is a significant effect of using Think Pair Share Strategy on students’ reading comprehension achievement.

To obtain the result of the reliability of the test, the researcher used the Kuder Richardson formula (KR-21). The result of the calculation showed that the reliability of the test was 0.64, which means that the reliability of the test is high. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis showed that tvalue is higher than ttable (5.50 > 2.00) at the level of significance 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58.

This paper reports on two studies in which different adult populations who had not formally studied psychology completed multiple-choice tests derived from general psychology textbooks to evaluate specific knowledge of the discipline. The aim was to determine to what extent psychology was “common sense” and which personal characteristics, such as sex, education, and age, best predicted correct answers. In the first study, 114 students about to start a psychology degree, and 222 nonstudent adults, completed a 106-item questionnaire taken from a standard textbook. There was considerable variability in the extent to which participants checked the correct answer, with an overall average of only 56% (just above chance). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in knowledge overall or in any particular areas. A regression showed books read and belief in the scientific nature of psychology to be the best predictors of overall knowledge. In the second study, 94 first-year students at the beginning of their course and 136 student applicants completed a 114-item questionnaire derived from a different textbook, this time focusing on child development. There was no difference in the correct responses between a psychology-student and nonstudent group, with both groups getting around 53% of the answers correct. Interest in, and experience of, psychology did not predict total correct scores. Like previous studies in the area, the results failed to indicate any major variables that predict knowledge of psychological processes.

Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk menentukan kesan Strategi Pembacaan Kolaboratif yang Diubah suai (MCSR) terhadap kemahiran membaca dalam kalangan pelajar tahun satu di sebuah universiti awam di Iran. Kaedah Kuasi-eksperimen mengunakan ujian-pra-ujian-pos telah dijadikan reka bentuk kajian. Dalam kajian ini, intervensi telah dijalankan terhadap 42 orang pelajar universiti tahun satu di negara Iran. Pelajar tersebut telah menerima intervensi MCSR selama 90 minit seminggu sepanjang enam minggu. Ujian Kefahaman Pembacaan yang dibina oleh pengkaji telah ditadbir sebelum dan selepas intervensi. Persepsi pelajar terhadap MCSR juga dinilai menggunakan soal selidik Opinionnaire®. Dapatan kuantitatif menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan dari aspek kemahiran kefahaman. Walau bagaimanapun, data kualitatif menunjukkan bahawa para peserta kajian menunjukkan sikap yang positif terhadap MCSR. Data juga menunjukkan peserta kajian cenderung kepada kaedah pengajaran yang bersifat komunikatif dan kolaboratif. Justeru, hasil kajian ini menolak pandangan yang mengatakan pelajar tidak gemar terhadap pembelajaran secara kumpulan (kolaboratif). Kata kunci: Strategi pembacaan kolaboratif yang diubah suai; pemahaman pembacaaan; pembelajaran koperatif; bahasa Inggeris sebagai bahasa asing; Iran The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a Modified Collaborative Strategic Reading (MCSR) intervention on reading performance among first-year students in a public university in Iran. A quasi-experiment method using a pre-test-post-test design was utilized. The intervention was implemented to 42 Iranian university-level EFL freshmen. The students met once a week and received the MCSR intervention for 90 minutes over six weeks. A researcher-developed reading comprehension test was group administered at the pre- and post-tests. Upon completion of the study, students’ perceptions regarding the MCSR intervention were also evaluated by means of an Opinionnaire®. Quantitative results indicated that participating students did not demonstrate significant gains in reading comprehension skills. However, qualitative evaluation revealed that students did have positive attitudes towards the MCSR intervention. We postulate that the participants may require intervention of considerably greater intensity in terms of instructional dosage than that provided in this research. Additionally, the data show that the students have a strong preference for communicative and cooperative activities and the popular thinking that they might resist group work (because of their long-standing conventional learning tradition) can no longer be true. Key words: Modified collaborative strategic reading; reading comprehension; cooperative learning; English as foreign language (EFL); Iran
