Abstract

This study explores the relationship between self-esteem and reading comprehension among male students at SMK Karsa Mulya. It addresses a notable phenomenon where male students often exhibit lower self-esteem compared to their female counterparts. This lower self-esteem can potentially affect various academic achievements, including reading comprehension. The aim of this research is to determine if there is a significant correlation between students' self-esteem and reading comprehension. Correlational research using quantitative methods. 53 students from Class XI for the academic year 2022/2023. SPSS 26 with the product-moment correlation method. The correlation coefficient (r) between self-esteem and reading comprehension was found to be 0.811. The significance level (p-value) was 0.00, which is less than the alpha level of 0.05. The (r table) for a sample of 53 at the 0.05 significance level is 0.279. The calculated correlation coefficient (0.811) exceeds the critical value (0.279) and the p-value (0.00) is below 0.05, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis (Ha). The results indicate a strong positive correlation between self-esteem and reading comprehension among the male students studied. This suggests that higher self-esteem is associated with better reading comprehension skills. Improving students' self-esteem could potentially enhance their reading comprehension.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Reading was a crucial skill for students, especially in understanding English language content. This study examined the impact of the Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Record, Reflect, and Review (SQ5R) method on students' reading comprehension at MTs Hidayatul Muhajirin Palangka Raya. The research employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach, involving 28 students in the experimental class who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using multiple-choice pre- and post-tests. A Paired Sample t-test revealed a significant improvement in students' reading comprehension scores (p = 0.00 < 0.05), with a t-count of 2.934, which exceeded the t-table value of 1.703. These results led to the rejection of the null hypothesis (H0) and the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis (Ha), indicating that the SQ5R method had a measurable effect on student performance. The findings suggested that SQ5R significantly enhanced reading comprehension and served as an effective instructional strategy. The study concluded that applying the SQ5R method positively influenced students’ ability to understand and analyze texts, making it a beneficial tool for improving reading skills during the 2024/2025 academic year.
