The experimental class was taught by using HGO, whereas the control class was taught by using conventional strategy. The instruments used for data collection were tests and questionnaires. The tests were given for both the experimental and control class but the questionnaire was only distributed for experimental class students. The data obtained from the tests were analyzed by using the SPSS (statistical package for the social science) version 23 and the questionnaire was analyzed by using Likert scale. The analyses results indicated that HGO is able to enhance students' reading comprehension proven by the significance value of the t-test on the identifying main idea (p = 0.003), specific detail (0,001), and inference aspect (0.001). Therefore, since the probability is Sig. 0.05, then H0 is rejected. In addition, the students responded positively (79.16%) to the application of HGO.

Abstract

The scientific approach constitutes an approach to Indonesia's 2013 curriculum. Since it is imperative for Indonesian education, all teachers need to understand, manage, and apply it in the teaching-learning process. Unfortunately, many English teachers still use inappropriate methods as in the 2013 curriculum. This qualitative research aims at discovering the implementation of a scientific approach by English teachers at State Senior High School in Lhokseumawe. The objects were English teachers at SMAN 1 Lhokseumawe, SMAN 2 Lhokseumawe, and SMAN 5 Lhokseumawe. The tools used in this study were observation for three high school English teachers in the schools. The observation results toward the implementation of five scientific approach stages exposed that the English teachers did not carry out the five stages completely. The teacher should master, understand, and apply the teaching process by following the whole stages of the scientific approach. Class mastery and time management are vital for the learning process. Thus, the teachers should consider those points. Hence, interesting supporting media, appropriate learning material, and methods must be considered by the teachers in teaching so that the students will be motivated to learn.
