The Effect of Using Generating Interaction Between Schemata and Text (GIST) Strategy On The Students’ Ability In Reading Recount Text

This research deals with the effect of using generating interaction between schemata and text (GIST) strategy on students’ ability in reading recount text. The objective of the study was to investigate whether Generating Interaction Between Schemata and Text Strategy significantly effect the students’ reading achievement. The population of this research was the first year students of MA Annajah Syekh Silau, in academic year 2016/2017. The total of population was 60 students and the researcher was took 60 students as the sample. This study was conducted by using an experimental research design. The experimental group was given treatment by using Generating Interaction Between Schemata and Text (GIST) Strategy. The instrument of the research was a multiple choise test. The test given to the students aimed to collect the data supporting the students’ mastery in reading. The t-test formula was implimentated to find out the tobserved value of both groups as the basis to test hypothesis of this research. The result of this research showed that the t-observedvalue was greater than the t-table in which tobs was 3.48 and ttable 2.042. It shows that tobs > ttable (3.48 > 2.042). The hypothesis Ha was acceptedand Ho was rejected. It means that there was any significant Effect of Using Generating Interaction Between Schemata and Text (GIST) Strategy on the Students’ Ability in Reading Recount Text was 87% and 13% was influenced by other factor
