×The objectives of this research are to determine: (1) whether Crazy Professor Reading Game is better than Direct Instruction Method for teaching reading skill; (2) whether students having high locus of control have better reading skill than those having low locus of control; (3) whether there is an interaction between the methods of teaching and students‘ locus of control in teaching reading.
The research methodology is experimental research. The independent variables in this research are the use of teaching methods (Crazy Professor Reading Game and Direct Instruction Method) in teaching reading and the attributive factor (locus of control) while the dependent variable is reading skill. The researcher conducted the research at SMP Negeri 1 Gemolong in November 2012. The population is the seventh grade of SMP Negeri 1 Gemolong in the academic year of 2012/2013. There are two classes in this research, the experimental class (VIID) and the control class (VIIC). In this case, the technique used to get the sample is cluster random sampling. The techniques of collecting data are a non-test (a questionnaire for locus of control) and a test (reading test of descriptive text). The questionnaire and the reading test are valid and reliable after they were tried out. In this research, the data of reading test are analyzed by using multifactor analysis of variance 2x2. Then, it is analyzed by using Tukey test. It is used to know the significant difference between the teaching methods.
The results of the research show that there are some research findings that can be drawn. First, Crazy Professor Reading Game is more effective than Direct Instruction Method for teaching reading. Second, students having high locus of control have better reading skill than the students having low locus of control. Third, there is an interaction between the methods used and students‘ locus of control in teaching reading: (1) Crazy Professor Reading Game is more effective than Direct Instruction Method in teaching reading for students having high locus of control; (2) Direct Instruction Method is more effective than Crazy Professor Reading Game in teaching Reading for students having low locus of control.
Dealing with the result above, it is expected that teachers use Crazy Professor Reading Game in teaching reading for the students having high locus of control and Direct Instruction Method for those having low locus of control.
