THE EFFECT OF NEUROLOGICAL IMPRESS METHOD UPON READING COMPREHENSION ACHIEVEMENT OF TENTH GRADE STUDENTS OF SMA PGRI 6 DENPASAR IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017

Abstract

AbstractThis research aimed at investigating whether or not there was any significant effect of Neurological Impress Method upon Reading Comprehension Achievement of Tenth Grade Students of SMA PGRI 6 Denpasar in Academic Year 2016/2017. On the basis of the purpose of the research, there was a null hypothesis formulated. The sampling technique used in this research was cluster random sampling. Two classes: X IPS 1 and X IPS 2 were selected as the samples of research. Class X IPS 1 was selected as the experimental group and X IPS 2 was selected as the control group. Each class consists of 41 students. In this research, the data were obtained by conducting reading comprehension test: normality and homogeneity test, try-out test, and posttest. The obtain data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. From the descriptive analysis, it was found out that the mean score for the group using Neurological Impress Method was 7.78 while the group using Conventional Reading technique was 7.18. It means that Neurological Impress Method was better than Conventional Reading technique.  The result of inferential statistic shows that to (2.13) more than tcv (1.98). The null hypothesis which states there is significant effect of students’ reading comprehension achievement between the two groups was rejected.Keywords: Effect, Neurological Impress Method (NIM), Reading Comprehension, Achievement AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi apakah ada pengaruh yang signifikan dari Neurological Impress Method terhadap pencapaian pemahaman membaca siswa kelas 10 SMA PGRI 6 Denpasar tahun akademik 2016/2017.
