The purpose of this study is to improve student learning outcomes by implementing Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review (SQ3R) learning methods in an effort to improve science learning outcomes on the subject matter of material classification and changes in grades VII-4 of SMP Negeri 1 Pujut. The research method uses classroom action research methods which consist of 2 action cycles. Each cycle consists of four stages including planning, implementation, observing the results of actions, and reflection. The number of students 31 students consisted of 17 male students and 14 female students. Based on the results of this study it can be concluded that there is a significant increase in student learning outcomes. This increase can be seen from the classical completeness obtained in the first cycle that is equal to 67.74% and the second cycle increased to 90.32% with an increase of 22.58%. This increase can also be seen from the observations of the activities of the first cycle teacher of 13 with a good category at an increase to 17 with a very good category in the second cycle. Whereas student activity in cycle I was 50 with active categories, increasing to 67 with very active categories in cycle II.

Reading English text as a basic language skill has a complicated process to be absorbed by second language learners. In practice, Text-based has enlarged students to the complicated of reading comprehension. Therefore, various kinds of teaching reading strategies appropriate to students’ characters and needs are determined. This study aimed to identify teaching reading strategies that English teachers frequently use and identify students’ reading achievement by applying certain recommended strategies and identifying its effect in the teaching and learning process. The subject was thirty students in the eighth grade of SMPN 1 Jereweh, Academic Year 2019/2020. Data collection procedures were FGD, In-depth Interview, Observation, and a reading test. The reading test was distributed toward the Pre-test and Post-test. While the data analysis was a qualitative and inferential statistic. The findings showed two kinds of teaching reading strategies that were frequently applied by English teachers in SMPN 1 Jereweh, namely, SQ3R and QAR. By designing a new combination between both of those strategies, students reading comprehension achievement showed that dominantly students’ categorized in “Good “level. The mean score was significantly different (Pre-test= 55.83, while Post-Test= 78.92). In addition, the r = 0.00 < 0.05 meant that there were significant effects before and after implementing SQ3R and QAR strategies. Thus, this design was recommended for teaching reading comprehension.

This research aimed at investigating whether or not there is a different effect between PQRST and SQ3R strategies based on the text types upon the eighth grade students’ reading competency. This research was an experimental research with 2 X 2 factorial designs. The population was 6 classes (179 students) of grade VIII in SMPN 4 Singaraja in the academic year 2012/2013, in which 4 classes were sample of this research which was assigned into two groups, two classes with 60 students were PQRST strategy group, and two classes with 60 students were SQ3R strategy group determined by using a Multistage Random Sampling. The data were collected through reading comprehension test that were analyzed by using Statistical Two-Way ANOVA. The result shows that, first, FA = 31.533 with the significant value was 0.000 which was less than 0.5, therefore, there is a significance difference between the students who were taught by PQRST strategy than those who were taught by SQ3R strategy. Second, FAB = 2.624 with the significant value was 0.107 which was higher than 0.5, therefore, there is no interactional effect of teaching reading strategies (PQRST and SQ3R) and text types (narrative and recount) on students’ reading competency.
