The researsch instrument is test in the form of written test using multiple choice, and then the data were analyze using t-test computation. The result of test shows that the mean score of the pre – test is 59,24 then for the mean score post – test is 71,67. It can be stated that problem based learning techniques improved students reading comprehension which is also known from the t – computation.The stastitical data in the research result data showed that t-score (8,828) > t-table 5% (2.080) or 1% (2.831). So the Null Hypothesis (H0) was rejected and the Alternative Hypothesis was accepted. The students taught by Problem Based Learning technique have better ability in reading comprehension recount text than those taught by Non-Problem Based Learning technique. It can be conducted problem based learning is effective to be used to teach reading. Based on the conclusion, the researcher suggests that English teacher should use Problem Based Learning as the appropriate technique to be applied in teaching reading comprehension recount text.
