Abstract

This research aims to improve students’ reading comprehension through the semantic mapping strategy on students of mathematics education program. This research used a classroom action research method which is carried out in two cycles with the stages of planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The data was collected by tests, the standard passing level was 70, and the proportion required was 60%. The results of the students’ reading comprehension test in cycle 1 showed that 5 (20%) students who got D (<69), 10 (40%) students who got C (70-79), 7 (28%) students who got B (80-89), and 3 (12%) students got A (90-100). While the results of the students’ reading comprehension test in cycle 2 showed that 0 (0%) students who got D (<69), 6 (24%) students who got C (70-79), 8 (32%) students who got B (80-89), and 11 (44%) students got A (90-100). The results showed that semantic mapping could improve students’ reading comprehension.
