Hubungan antara Kecerdasan Verbal Linguistik dan Motivasi Membaca dengan Keterampilan Membaca Pemahaman

Abstract

This research aims to determine the relationship between verbal-linguistic intelligence and reading motivation simultaneously with reading comprehension skills among students at STKIP PGRI Bandar Lampung. The research method employed is quantitative correlational. The research sample was selected using a simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through tests for the verbal-linguistic intelligence and reading comprehension skills variables, as well as a questionnaire for the reading motivation variable. Data analysis utilized descriptive and inferential statistics, specifically multiple correlation and multiple linear regression. The analysis results are expected to show a positive and significant correlation, both partially and simultaneously, among the three variables. This confirms that well-honed verbal-linguistic intelligence coupled with a strong motivational drive contributes significantly to students' ability to comprehend reading materials deeply.
