Abstract

This research discusses about the correlation between metacognitive learning strategy and students’ reading comprehension. The problem of this research is students have low interest for reading, students also very lazy to open books, students have difficulties in understanding the sentences because students do not have a good strategy. The aim of this research is to know whether there is the significance correlation of metacognitive learning strategy and students’ reading comprehension at the seventh semester of English Education department students in IAIN Padangsidimpuan or not. This research IS designed by quantitative approach and correlation research type. The population of this research is seventh semester students of English Department in IAIN Padangsidimpuan. Then, the sample of the research is TBI-1 = 8 students, TBI-2 = 10 students, TBI-3 = 10 students, and TBI-4 = 9 students. So, the total of the sample is 37 students from population, taken with random sampling by lottery. For collecting the data, researcher use test (multiple choice) for reading comprehension and questionnaire to know students’ cognitive learning strategy. For analyzing the data, the research used tcount. Based on the research result, the research showed the calculating of product moment by getting correlation coefficients rxy = 0.070. It is that shown the correlation between students’ metacognitive strategy and students’ reading comprehension is very low correlation. So, based on the above calculation between variable X and Y by rxy the researcher got 0.070, it means the correlation between variable X and Y is positive correlation. Then, based on the calculation tcount, the researcher found that tcount = 0.415 and dk = N-2 = 37-2 = 35, and at real α = 0.05, the researcher found that ttable = 2.704 cause tcount < ttable, namely tcount = 0.415 and ttable = 2.704. It means that there is no significant correlation between X and Y. Ha is rejected and Ho is accepted.
