Eni Susanti. 2010. The influence of formal and content schemata on reading
comprehension of the second year students of English department at UNISMA. Skripsi, English Education Department Faculty of

Key words: Formal
schemata, Content schemata, Reading comprehension
Reading comprehension means reading
and understanding, process interaction between the reader and the text itself
to construct meaning and enhance their understanding where various kinds of
knowledge are being used: linguistic knowledge, rhetorical structure (formal
schemata) and the familiarity of the topic (content schemata). The basic
principle behind schemata theory is that a text does not carry meaning. More
information is contributed by the reader than by the text it self because the
reader bring information, knowledge and emotion that is schemata. This study attempts to explore the
influence of formal schemata and content schemata on reading comprehension. The
researcher formulated the hypothesis as follow: Formal and content schemata
correlate significantly with reading comprehension on the second year student
of english department at UNISMA. This study was conducted at the second year
students of english department at UNISMA as the population and two classes
turned out be selected as the sample with total number of 45 students.
In order to answer the research
problem, the researcher used the correlation design and the types of this
correlation research is multiple correlation and F-testing hypothesis. There
are three variables incestigated in this study, namely: formal schemata and
content schemata as indepentdent variables, and reading comprehension as
depentdent variable. Three kinds of instrument administered to the students
were content schemata test, text mapping as formal schemata test, and reading comprehension
test.
The result of computation showed
that the coefficient of multiple correlation among formal schemata, content
schemata and reading comprehension (R) is 0, 707 and the computing of the value
of F (22, 72) is higher than critical value of F (3, 22) at 0, 05 level of
significant. While the contribution of formal schemata and content schemata to
reading comprehension is 50%. It means that the alternative hypothesis is
accepted. Therefore, it can be conluded that there is high significant correlation.
The result of this study showed that
the student who have high score in formal and content schemata also have high
score in reading comprehension. Based upon the finding, the suggestion is
offered to the english teachers. The suggestion primarily dealt with the
provision of suitable reading material that is needed to optimize students’
schemata. The teachers should considere the ability of the students in
selecting the reading material.Moreover, it also dealt with the teachers’
ability to activate the students’ background knowledge through classroom activities and teaching tecniques.
