Four classes of management classes are chosen randomly and assigned as the experimental class and the control class. The samples are 61 students for the experimental class and 60 students in the control class. This study applied quantitative method for reading comprehension test and ASRA (Adult Survey Reading Attitude) as the instruments. It is assumed that DRTA and Reading give positive effect on students’ reading comprehension. After setting into experimental class and control class, experimental were taught using DRTA and control class were taught using regular method. By the end of the 10 sessions, those students were assigned to take a Reading Comprehension Test and fill in the ASRA questionnaire. The result of the data analysis indicates that there was not statistically significant difference effect between high and low attitude on students’ reading comprehension. Students who were taught by DRTA got the average value higher than Conventional method. The result indicated that there was a positive, linear relationship among the three variables. The R square value which was 0.316 represented the proportion of variation in the dependent variable that was explained by the independents variables. This meant about 31.6 % of the variance in the dependent variable or reading comprehension was explained by the independent variables method (DRTA and conventional ) and reading attitude and 68.4 % was explained by other factors. The students who were taught using DRTA show a significant effect on students’ reading comprehension date: 2012-11-12 date_type: completed full_text_status: public institution: UHAMKA department: DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH EDUCATION thesis_type: masters thesis_name: other citation: purwandari, diah (2012) The Effect of Direct Reading Thinking Activity (DRTA) and Reading Attitude toward Reading on Students’Reading Comprehension.
