        abstract = {The objective of this research was to find out whether there was a significant
difference between students of field dependent and field independent in reading
comprehension achievement. Theoretically, field dependent students tend to have
group discussion and field independent students tend to finish their tasks
individually.
This research used quantitative method that was conducted at the second grade
students of SMAN 1 Kotaagung consisting of 32 students in each class. The
researcher took one class as try out class; it was XI MIA 3 and one class as a
sample class; it was XI MIA 2. The students in the sampled class were classified

between the students of field dependent and field independent in reading
comprehension achievement at the second grade students of SMAN 1 Kotaagung.
The result showed that there were 17 students belonged to the field dependent
group and 15 students belonged to the field independent group. The mean score of
the reading test in the field dependent group was 62.06 and the mean score of the
test in field independent group was 75.00. The result of computation showed that
the significant value was smaller than alpha (Sign{\ensuremath{<}}?, 0.00{\ensuremath{<}}0.05) and t-value was
higher than t-table (t0{\ensuremath{>}}ttab, 4.18{\ensuremath{>}}1.69). In this case, the result of this research
proved that there was a significant difference between students of field dependent
and field independent in reading comprehension achievement. In the other words,
