THE EFFECT OF QUESTION ANSWER RELATIONSHIP (QAR) STRATEGY ON STUDENTS' ACHIEVEMENT IN READING COMPREHENSION

The focus of this research is to demonstrate the influence of question-and-answer learning on students' reading interest in narrative texts. Is there an effect of question answer relationship strategy on students' reading skills in reading narrative texts? Class Vlll SMP Methodist 9 Medan is the problem in this research. This form of research is a quasi-experimental study that includes an experimental and a control group, as well as pre-and post-tests. The post-test results showed that 22 pupils (88 percent) received very high scores and 3 students (12 percent) received high scores. The experimental group's mean score was likewise raised. Prior to using the QAR technique, the mean was 67.04. The mean after learning using the QAR technique was 83.36. The median in the pre-test was 76, but after learning with the QAR approach, it was 82. Prior to treatment, the experimental group's standard deviation was 1.676. After learning by applying QAR strategy, the standard deviation in the experimental group was 2.084. Students are more engaged in reading after employing the question-and-answer learning paradigm to improve their interest. This demonstrates that the question-and-answer interaction strategy's learning effect has a significant impact on students' success in reading narrative texts.


Introduction
Reading is the educational process to achieve the goals to be Learning to read is carried out so that students can read but it is also a process that involves activities as well as thinking, understanding and producing a written discourse.
Reading has many benefits.
First, reduction and anxiety, such as experiencing anxiety because of love, problems that can be used by reading motivational words or holy books according to religious teachings.
Second, make the brain develop.that the probability values were more than 0.05.Based on this information, it is possible to conclude that The ancova test was the next step taken by the authors.
According to the results of the test, the significance level of ancova (0.00) was less than 0.05.This was the outcome of the exam, as seen by the authors.The writers came to the conclusion that Ho (null hypothesis) was rejected.H1 (alternative hypothesis) was accepted in the meanwhile.After analyzing the data given before, the authors found that using the Questions and Answers Relationship (QAR) technique had a considerable impact on the students' reading skills.The pupils in the control group had an influence on learning, although it was not significant after learning using the traditional teaching technique.
The writers have explained this research result by presenting some tables before.By seeing the tables, there were some conclusions., d. A. A. (2017)
