Abstract

Reading skill is something that must be possessed and learned by students. When someone has good reading skills, it will support other language skills, namely writing skills. A number of studies examined efforts to improve reading skills, but there is still little research related to reading interest, motivation, and habits, especially at student level. The purpose of this study is to map reading interest, motivation, and habits of students at the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program (PBSI), Faculty of Education, in one of Muhammadiyah universities. The research method is descriptive analytics, namely analyzing findings in the form of mapping interest in reading interest, motivation, and habits obtained through a closed questionnaire in the form of google form with 154 PBSI student respondents. Based on the results, it was found that: (1) PBSI students’ reading interest was divided into 3 categories: very high, medium, and low. The frequency of the very high category is 0.65%, the medium category is 62.34%; and low category 37.01%. (2) Reading motivation of PBSI students is divided into 4 categories namely very high as much as 4.55%, high category as much as 58.44%, medium category 4.42%, and low category 2.60%. (3) Students’ reading habits are divided into four categories, namely very high as much as 1.95%; high category 37.66%; medium category 57.14%; low category 0.03%. There are eight kinds of habit mapping in the form of activities carried out when reading, including: (1) the chosen language of instruction; (2) the color used to mark the main ideas; (3) the duration required to read in one sitting; (4) the required duration for reading; (5) preferred type of book; (6) the desired atmosphere when reading; (7) the number of books read in a month; and (8) preferred type of reading. The results of this study are expected to be used as a basis for carrying out further research in the form of development research related to reading skills in students in the Indonesian Language and Literature Education Study Program.
