The purpose of this research was to find out the correlation between reading self-efficacy and reading comprehension. The research applied correlational study which used quantitative design. The sample was 273 of twelfth grade students of science class at SMAN 5 Bengkulu. The data were collected by using two instruments: (1) the reading self-efficacy questionnaire which was used to measure the students’ reading self-efficacy and (2) reading comprehension test which was used to know the students’ reading comprehension. The correlation between the two variables was calculated by using Pearson Product Moment in SPSS 15. The result shows that there is a significant correlation between reading self-efficacy and reading comprehension. The score of significance level is < 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05) which means that H1 was accepted and H0 was rejected. So, it can be inferred that the higher the reading self-efficacy, the higher the reading comprehension. Keywords: Reading Comprehension; Self-Efficacy
In learning students often experience boredom, teachers must be able to create an effective learning atmosphere for students with various methods. Schools as places of learning must also be able to create a good atmosphere especially in the classroom. However, sometimes in teaching and learning activities in schools, there are often problems related to learning experienced by these students. The problem is influenced by internal factors (which come from within the students themselves) and also external factors (which come from outside). One of the internal factors is the boredom experienced by students while studying. A teacher who can create an effective learning atmosphere for students in order to achieve learning. The essence of effective learning is a teaching and learning process that is not only focused on the results achieved by students, but how an effective learning process is able to provide good understanding, intelligence, perseverance, and provide behavior and apply it in their lives.
