Then, the result of correlation “r” product moment using SPSS Statistic 19 Program showed that robserved was lower than rtable at 0. 01 significance level or 0. 025 < 0. 195. Based on the research finding, it indicated that HO (there is not significant positive correlation between the learning motivation and the students‟ reading comprehension) was received and Ha (there is a significant positive correlation between the learning motivation and the students‟ reading comprehension) was rejected.

KORELASI ANTARA MOTIVASI BELAJAR DAN PEMAHAMAN MEMBACA MAHASISWA BARU PROGRAM STUDI BAHASA INGGRIS STAIN PALANGKA RAYA ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengukur apakah ada hubungan yang signifikan antara motivasi belajar, integrative dan instrumental motivasi, dan pemahaman membaca teks bahasa Inggris mahasiswa baru di STAIN Palangka Raya. Rumusan masalah dalam penelitian ini adalah “bagaimana hubungan antara motivasi belajar dan pemahaman membaca mahasiswa?.” Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan korelasi desain, dimana desain ini digunakan untuk menghubungkan dua variable, yaitu motivasi belajar sebagai variable independen (variable X) dan pemahaman membaca mahasiswa sebagai variable dependen (variable Y). Subjek dari penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa baru STAIN Palangka Raya program bahasa Inggris tahun ajaran 2012/2013 dengan jumlah 94 mahasiswa. Untuk mengumpulkan data, penulis menggunakan: (1) Angket (motivasi belajar), (2) Tes (tes pemahaman membaca) sebagai instrumen penelitian. Dalam menganalisis data, penulis menggunakan perhitungan correlation “r” product moment. Hasil perhitungan manual correlation “r” product moment menunjukkan bahwa nilai yang dihitung, rhitung (0.029) lebih rendah dari rtabel pada tingkat signifikasi 5 %, yaitu 0. 029 < 0. 195. Adapun hasil perhitungan yang menggunakan Program SPSS Statistik 19 menunjukkan bahwa rhitung lebih rendah dari rtabel ,yaitu pada tingkat signifikasi 0. 01 atau 0. 025 < 0. 195. Berdasarkan hasil temuan tersebut, menunjukkan bahwa HO (tidak ada hubungan positif yang signifikan antara motivasi belajar dan pemahaman membaca mahasiswa) diterima dan Ha (ada hubungan positif yang signifikan antara motivasi belajar dan pemahaman membaca mahasiswa) ditolak. Ini berarti bahwa motivasi belajar bahasa Inggris mahasiswa tidak mempengaruhi pemahaman membaca teks bahasa Inggris mahasiswa baru STAIN Palangka Raya.
