Abstract

This study uses a correlational research method, which aims to determine whether there is a significant relationship between motivation and reading comprehension among students at the University of Riau Islands. The participants were 20 students at Universitas Riau Kepulauan, specifically in the English Education Study Program. The study focused on sixth-semester students, as they are expected to have more experience in reading academic texts and are more likely to show clear patterns of motivation and reading comprehension. In this study, two measurement tools were used: a questionnaire and a reading test administered by the teacher to measure students' reading motivation and reading comprehension. In analyzing the data, the questionnaire was scored using a Likert scale. The Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed normal data distribution, and Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation analysis revealed a negligible negative relationship (r = -0.021, p = 0.930), indicating no significant correlation between motivation and reading comprehension. These results suggest that although motivation is still a crucial aspect of learning, it might not have a direct impact on reading comprehension in this particular situation. In order to obtain deeper insights, future research is encouraged to examine this link using larger samples and a wider range of methodologies.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between students’ Meta-learning awareness and writing descriptive texts at the junior high school level. This research is motivated by students' difficulties in writing descriptive texts, including organizing ideas, selecting vocabulary, and applying correct grammar. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The population of this study consisted of all seventh-grade students at SMPN 30 Batam, and one class (N = 41) was randomly selected using a cluster random sampling technique. The research instruments consist of a questionnaire to measure Meta-learning awareness and a writing test to assess the ability to write descriptive texts based on Brown's (2003) rubric. The data was analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test because the data was not normally distributed. The analysis results show a significant positive correlation between Meta-learning awareness and writing descriptive text (rs = 0.330; Sig. = 0.035). Although the strength of the correlation is considered weak, this finding indicates that students with higher Meta-Learning awareness tend to have better writing skills. The results of this study confirm that Meta-learning awareness can improve students' writing skills by encouraging them to be more reflective in the learning process. This research recommends that teachers integrate Meta-learning activities into writing instruction to foster students' independence, focus, and confidence in producing descriptive texts.
