Using Question – Answer Relationship (QAR) Strategies in Reading Practice for High School Students.
Overview
Abstract:
This study aims to use a question-answer
relationship strategy to improve reading comprehension skills for grade 10
students at Dong Hy High
School. During the research, 20 grade 10th students participated in the survey
questionnaire and 20 students participated in the experiment. There are 20
students who took the pre-test to check their level and then were divided into
two groups: the experimental group and the control group, and each group had
exactly 10 learners. Members of the control group did reading comprehension
exercises. They also performed both before and after tests to compare the
effects of using the Question-Answer Strategy on the experimental group. While
the experimental group had the same level as the control group after pre-test.
They were asked to read short or medium passages applying each question type in
the strategy once a week. The researchers also created groups on Facebook to
exchange and sent practice links to the exercises and tests to the participants
so that the researchers could review and track their learning and progress
their sets. The researchers used questionnaires and a reading comprehension
test as the two main tools, and SPSS 20 was used to analyze the data. The
findings of this study led to several conclusions. The question-answer
relationship strategy had a positive impact on students' reading comprehension.
Furthermore, all students participating in the study expressed satisfaction and
enthusiasm during the study period.
