Abstract

This study aimed at examining the correlation between critical thinking disposition, emotional intelligence, and reading comprehension achievement among male and female learners of MAN 2 Kota Kediri. Moreover, this study also investigated the significant difference between male and female learners regarding to their critical thinking disposition, emotional intelligence, and reading comprehension achievement. This study used correlational research design and causal comparative design. In collecting the data, the researcher employed two questionnaires and took a reading scores from internship teacher in MAN 2 Kota Kediri who has conducted a reading test using TOEFL Junior by ETS. The first questionnaire was critical thinking disposition questionnaire which was adapted from EMI by Ricketts (2003) and CTD developed scale. The second questionnaire was Quick Emotional Intelligence Self-Assessment which was adopted from San Diego city college MESA Program. The participants of this study were 174 eleventh grade students in 2018/2019 academic year of MAN 2 Kota Kediri, consisted of 50 male students and 124 female students. There are five results that were revealed in this study. The first result indicates that there is a significant correlation between students‟ critical thinking disposition and emotional intelligence (sig. value= .000, r= .481). Secondly, there is a very weak negative correlation between students‟ critical thinking disposition and their reading comprehension achievement (sig. value = .311, r = -.054). Furthermore, although there is no sigificant correlation between students‟ emotional intelligence and their reading comprehension achievement, a very weak negative correlation between these variables is found (sig. value= .395, r= -.045). The next result shows that both students‟ critical thinking disposition and emotional intelligence do not have multiple significant correlation with reading comprehension achievement (sig. f change = .701, R = .064). Lastly, it indicates that there is no significant difference between male and female students regarding to their critical thinking disposition (t= .080, df= 172) and emotional intelligence (t= .0918, df= 172). On the contrary, there is a significant difference between male and female students regarding to their reading comprehension achievement (t= 1.974, df= 172). Most of the findings accepted the Null Hypothesis. It can be caused by the students‟ seriousness in completing the instruments. The students might be not really serious in completing the questionnaires and reading test. Moreover, MAN 2 Kota Kediri is one of the best state school in Kediri. Automatically, the students‟ achievements at school are almost in the same range.
