Students' Metacognitive Awareness and Reading Comprehension of Narrative Texts
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study aims to describe the relationship of students' metacognitive awareness and their reading comprehension of narrative texts by employing a correlational study design. The participants of this study were students of IPS 3 Class of SMAN 3 Bone, South Sulawesi, consisting of 25 students. They were selected as participants for this study using cluster sampling. The researchers used a questionnaire and test to collect the data from participants. The questionnaire was used to determine the students' metacognitive awareness, while the test was used to assess their reading comprehension of narrative texts. Pearson Product Moment and regression analyses were conducted to find out the correlation between the two variables. Results of this study show a significant correlation between metacognitive awareness and students' reading comprehension of narrative texts with r 0.786 > r table 3.961. This research could have implications for the English teacher, students, and next researchers.
