Abstract

The Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite and Review (PQ4R) strategy was implemented by utilizing a quasi-experimental research design in order to find out whether the strategy was effective to improve students’ reading comprehension. Using a cluster random sampling technique, two groups of Grade 11 students from a Muhammadiyah Senior High School (SHS) in Padang were recruited as the experimental (Class A) and control (Class B) groups. A reading comprehension test was administered only at the end of the implementation to see the effectiveness of implementing the PQ4R strategy. The results show the significance value 0.042 at stage 0.05. It approach that the price changed into decrease than significance alpha 0.05 at level of significant 5%. These prove that the H0 saying PQ4R strategy does not improve students’ reading comprehension is rejected, however Ha saying PQ4R strategy improves students’ reading comprehension is accepted. Thus, there is a significant effect of implementing PQ4R strategy on the improvement of students’ reading comprehension.
