Abstract: The unavailability of statistical physics books delivered in Bahasa Indonesia has encouraged students to
learn and understand the concept of statistical physics delivered in English textbooks. This study was aimed
at investigating pre-service physics teachers’ summarising ability, reading comprehension ability to
understand statistical physics textbooks delivered in English and their difficulties concerning reading
comprehension. The study involved 76 pre-service physics teachers. A test was constructed with nine items to
measure their reading comprehension. Also pre-service teachers were given questionnaire to investigate their
reading comprehension difficulties. The results show that they had not summarized the passage but
translated them. When it came to reading comprehension, they performed low ability in English reading
comprehension. Their reading comprehension difficulties had something to do with the vocabulary mastery
as the most significant burden and their low reading habit. There is a need to improve pre-service physics
teachers English textbook reading habit and their vocabulary mastery to boost their reading comprehension
on concepts of statistical physics delivered in English textbook.
1 INTRODUCTION
Higher education requires great reading assignment
for pre-service teachers. Unlike primary and
secondary school, University delivers more
challenging reading task to students to accomplish
their study. It promotes reading comprehension for
pre-service teachers for them to successfully deal
with the university academic life.
Reading activities cannot be separated from the
learning process in higher education. They become
paramount and play pivotal role to assist students in
fulfilling their study in university. Many projects and
assignment are requiring their reading
comprehension skill. Reading becomes very
important to the university students regarding
understanding the concepts being explored by them
when reading a particular text (O’Reilly and
McNamara, 2007; Cromley, Snyder-Hogan and
Luciw-Dubas, 2010).
Reading comprehension is at the heart of reading
activities. One is not considered successful reader
when he or she has not performed his/ her
comprehension on the text.
Several studies reported reading comprehension
benefits for students throughout their academic
life. Reading activities can improve the conceptual
performance on the field they were studying
(O’Reilly and McNamara, 2007; Cromley, Snyder-
Hogan and LuciwDubas, 2010) and can improve
student achievement in their field (Law, Chan and
Sachs, 2008), (Savolainen et al., 2008).

Reading comprehension requires readers to
construct meaning from the text they are dealing
with. It implies that there should be interaction
between readers, text and the knowledge of the
reader. These interactions are paramount for reading
comprehension to exist. They constitute reading
comprehension and this interaction is considered as
a complex process since it consists of several sub-
processes that influence each other (Aarnoutse and
Schellings, 2003).
What makes successful reading comprehension?
Scholars have one thing in common that reading
comprehension requires reading strategies and
several sub-skill like summarizing activity. Reading
strategies do not belong to read objectives in a
particular reading activity. This has something to do
with the means or ways to achieve the reading
objectives (Aarnoutse and Schellings, 2003). One of
the ways to make reading comprehension is
summarizing skill.
Summarizing activity helps students to build
reading comprehension. In University level, it is
considered difficult activity when it comes to
reading comprehension. It is hard to summarize a
particular reading paragraph for example because
students face obstacle in identifying main idea and
significant detail within paragraph they are reading.
Summarizing activity is considered the most
challenging task for teachers to deliver to their
students. Teachers usually find what students write
for their summary redundant ideas and irrelevant
ideas when summarizing paragraph (Olson and
Valeri-Gold, 1991).
In Indonesian higher education context, reading
has not become a culture among pre-service physics
teachers. Instead of reading their academic material,
they prefer to listen to their lecturer’s explanation
in the classroom to learn the material on physics.
In several occasion, according to interview with
them, they expressed one problem in common. The
problem happens because they do not possess
reading habit for physics textbook delivered in
foreign language like English. This situation is not in
line with the importance of reading benefits and
advantages for pre-service physics teachers in
developing their knowledge and competencies.
In addition to reading comprehension difficulties,
other challenging task for the students to achieve is
summarizing ability. Summarizing requires several
things to accomplish by students when dealing with
particular paragraph or text. According to some
interview, they thought that summarizing has
something to do with translation the text from English
to Indonesian. This happens because they do not
know how to summarize a particular text.
The problems faced by students in reading
comprehension activities have been well-
documented in several journal publications.
Numerous studies have been conducted concerning
reading comprehension and some investigated
reading comprehension difficulties (Kozminsky and
Graetz, 1986), other studied intervention for reading
comprehension teaching (Woolley, 2008). Other
studies investigated reading strategies to be
implemented by students (Muijselaar et al., 2017),
and some studied on measuring reading
comprehension (Fletcher, 2009). Other issues to
consider when it comes to reading comprehension is
summarizing ability. Studies on summarizing have
been investigated by various scholars. Summarizing
boosts students reading comprehension (Bensousan
and Kreindler, 1990), teaching summarizing can be
delivered in cooperative learning among students to
perform summarizing activity (Olson and Valeri-
Gold, 1991).
In Indonesian higher education context, there is
a lack of research investigating pre-service physics
teacher reading comprehension on statistical physics
concept delivered in English. The present study tries
to fill in the gap. There are several research questions
that the present study addresses: How do pre-service
physics teachers perform in summarizing reading
passage? How do students perform in reading
comprehension on statistical physics concept? What
are the difficulties that pre-service teachers
encountered in reading comprehension?
2 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Reading Comprehension
In University context, reading comprehension is
crucial because the central purpose of reading
activity is comprehension - constructing meaning
from text (Luckner, John L. & Handley, 2008).
Reading comprehension carries many benefits that
student can gain for their academic life. Its benefits
have been reported in several publications. There are
many benefits of reading comprehension namely: It
improve the conceptual performance (O’Reilly and
McNamara, 2007; Cromley, Snyder-Hogan and
Luciw-Dubas, 2010) and improve student
achievement (Law, Chan and Sachs, 2008)
(Savolainen et al., 2008). These two benefits are
helpful for students to deal with the assignment on
campus. Reading becomes very important to the
university students regarding understanding the

concepts being explored by them when reading a
particular text (O’Reilly and McNamara, 2007;
Cromley, Snyder-Hogan and Luciw-Dubas,
2010).
Reading comprehension is the ultimate goal
for readers in every reading activity. It requires
readers to perform high order thinking skill. It
means that readers need to construct meaning of the
text. This can be done by building interaction
between readers, text and the knowledge of the
reader (Aarnoutse and Schellings, 2003). This
interaction is considered as a complex process since
it consists of several sub-processes that influence
each other when performing reading activity
(Aarnoutse and Schellings, 2003).
Considering the immense challenge of reading
comprehension in building interaction among,
reader, text and the knowledge, readers should be
taught to apply reading strategies to achieve reading
comprehension. Without proper competence in
performing reading strategies, it is difficult for
students to achieve reading comprehension. These
reading strategies should be taught and trained in the
classroom (Muijselaar et al., 2017).
Reading strategies do not belong to read
objectives in a particular reading activity. These
have something to do with the means or ways to
achieve the reading objectives (Aarnoutse and
Schellings, 2003). Since they are means and ways to
achieve reading objectives, students should be
taught how to perform these strategies to achieve
reading objectives. They are crucial to be taught so
that students can overcome reading comprehension
difficulties by offering appropriate principles and
strategies (Woolley, 2008).
Reading strategies have been investigated by
many scholars in their publications. Some
scholars have proposed several reading strategies to
boost students’ reading comprehension. These
include applying DIME (the direct and inferential
mediation) in reading activity, using a question for
reading activity to improve comprehension (Koch
and Eckstein, 1991), (Smith, Holliday and Austin,
2010), (Cromley, Snyder-Hogan and Luciw-
Dubas, 2010), summarizing, making conceptual
maps, and applying comprehension monitoring
(Cromley, Snyder-Hogan and Luciw-Dubas,
2010).
Based on the previous research it can be
concluded that there are several reading strategies to
implement in the classroom namely DIME,
questioning, making conceptual map and
summarizing. This study investigated pre-service
teachers’ ability in summarizing strategy on reading
passages to improve their reading comprehension.
Students reading comprehension can be
measured by several approaches. Educational
experts and psychologists have offered multiple
approaches to measurement for reading
comprehension. Measuring reading comprehension
is not an easy task because it measures the product
of the process of reading comprehension and the
quality of comprehension (Cutting, Laurie E.;
Scarborough, 2006; Fletcher, 2009).
There are two types of readers in the context of
reading comprehension. Koch and Eckstein, (1991)
found that there are two types of readers when
dealing with reading passage, namely over optimism
and over pessimism. The former refers to those
students who are very confident in their reading
skills, while the latter refers to students who are not
confident and strongly disbelieve their reading skill.
These two types of readers exist in the classroom.
Students can be taught to be skilled readers in
reading activity. Skilled readers are able to draw
upon their knowledge of the topic and guide
their decision in dealing with reading difficulties.
They also apply traditional self- regulated reading
process meaning they set the goal, predict, monitor
and evaluate information for their reading purposes
(Coiro and Dobler, 2007). These abilities enable
readers to be skilled readers because they can predict,
monitor and evaluate information from the text they
read.
Important knowledge for skilled readers to
achieve reading comprehension is vocabulary
knowledge. Vocabulary mastery is crucial for
successful reading comprehension to take place. In
academic context there is a growing need to teach
academic vocabulary. It serves as tool for
communication in the disciplinary content. Teachers
are expected to provide more exposure toward
vocabulary use. In addition it requires students to
have ample opportunities to use the vocabulary as
they learn it (Nagy et al., 2012).
2.2 Summarizing
Summarizing trains readers to differentiate between
main and subordinate ideas in a particular paragraph.
It also promotes readers ability to draw inferences
and make judgment on a particular text. It belongs to
whole text and super macro level skill that readers
must learn (Bensousan & Kreindler 1990). It might
be harder for foreign language learners to summarize
because of their lack of confidence, slow reading,
concentration on micro level and ignorance of
schemata and ideas of macro level (Bensousan and
BELTIC 2018 - 1st Bandung English Language Teaching International Conference
542
Kreindler, 1990). These problems cause
summarizing difficulties on the parts of students.
Once they are able to manage these burdens they
can perform summarizing ability.
In higher education, summarizing is a need for
students to deal with academic material by
summarizing it. The challenge is bigger for the
students when they deal with foreign or second
language when summarizing a particular text.
Second language learners’ performance in
summarizing academic material is usually
challenged by their competence to apply bottom up
and top down reading activities (Kozminsky and
Graetz, 1986). Bottom-up and top-down reading
ability help students to summarize well a particular
text. To summarize successfully, students should
focus on the core of the problem by finding both:
keywords to find the essence of the problem and the
main idea in each paragraph to relate it to the main
idea in another paragraph (Wormeli, 2005; Jones,
2006). In other words, students will be successful in
summarizing a text when they are able to identify
keywords and main idea of a particular paragraph.
Teachers can teach their students how to
summarize effectively. They can train their students
several strategies for summarizing. These
strategies include: (1) Selecting content for reading
passages to summarize. Read the passages with
students or give students assignments; (2) Asking
them to experience reading the section passage
and train them to decide and erase minor or
pointless parts of the paragraph; (3) Telling students
to erase excessive parts in the passage they read;
(4) Reminding your students to substitute
superordinate terms or paraphrase (for instance, they
can change word flower by selecting daisies, tulips,
and roses); (5) Asking sudents to choose or create
topic sentence for their summary (Marzano,
Pickering and Pollock, 2001). This study applied
summarizing activity by applying these 5 steps
offered.
3 METHOD
This study employed descriptive since it was aimed
at investigating: pre-service physics teacher
performance in reading comprehension on concept of
statistical physics concept; and their difficulties in
reading comprehension. There were 76 participants
involved in this study. They were pre-service
physics teachers and were following the statistical
physics course in the seventh semester. They had
taken English subject delivered in the first semester.
Data were collected through test, questionnaire
and interview. Before administering test, participants
were trained to apply summarizing reading strategy
to accomplish English reading material (Cromley,
Snyder-Hogan and Luciw Dubas, 2010). They were
asked to summarize assignment taken from the book
Introduction to statistical physics (Huang, 2010).
Furthermore they presented and discussed the
summary in the class. After three meetings had been
conducted, their reading comprehension ability was
measured using the description test of nine
questions. In the test, each item contained a
paragraph of reading material related to statistical
material physics and it was followed by questions
consisting from two to four items. Test result data
was processed and presented for analysis. A
questionnaire was also conducted to find out their
reading comprehension difficulties.
4 FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION
There are several findings concerning pre-service
physics teacher performance in summarizing reading
passage, reading comprehension on concept of
statistical physics concept; and their difficulties in
reading comprehension. They will be organized into
three sections.
4.1 Summarizing Ability on Physics
Reading Passage Delivered in
English
This study found that all the students did not
summarize the reading passage. Instead of
summarizing, they did translate the reading passage.
They rewrite down everything that was printed on
the textbook. They provided Indonesian translation
for the English text that was supposed to be
summarized. It t urned out that what students
submitted was not the summary but the translation.
Their summarizing performance was poor
because they have several obstacles. Students did not
have a good command of English text reading
comprehension. Once they were asked to summarize
English statistical physics textbook, what they did
was not summarizing but translating the English
passage into Indonesia. Things got worse since they
used online translate application to accomplish their
assignment. This can be found from the erroneous
available in the result they submitted. There were
some improper sentence structures and some
statistical physical terms were misrepresented.

They failed to summarize the reading passage
because they did not apply summarizing steps. To
summarize successfully, students should focus on
keywords, main idea in each paragraph (Jones and
Bray, 1986; Wormeli, 2005). In the assignment they
fail to identify keywords and main ideas in a
particular paragraph. Based on this finding, teachers
are expected to overcome their summarizing
problem. Lecturers may offer student several
strategies like selecting content of reading, training
them to read and erasing excessive parts,
paraphrasing and creating topic sentence for their
summary (Marzano, Pickering and Pollock, 2001).
Summarizing skill boosts reading comprehension
as one of its advantages. Summary writing offers
several advantages. One of its advantages is that
students have to compile and recall the information
they got from reading sources. It measures students
comprehension when they are reading. This
comprehension is crucial because the central
purpose of reading activity is comprehension -
constructing meaning from text (Luckner, John L. &
Handley, 2008)
4.2 Reading Comprehension Ability on
Reading English Passages Test
There were nine items of questions in the test to
measure students’ reading comprehension on the
reading passages provided in the test. Those nine
items referred to the reading passage content taken
from the textbook of classical statistics delivered in
English (statistics Maxwell Boltzmann). Students’
performances on the test would yield their reading
comprehension ability on the reading passages.
Their reading comprehension ability can be proven
by their performance in accomplishing the nine test
items questions. The value of the test results is
shown in Table 1.

Mean 54.2
Median 51.4 __

The average ability of students’ reading
comprehension on English reading passages is still
in the low category and it shows an average rating of
54.2. When viewed individually, it is found that the
students with the lowest score having the value of
0.0 and the highest score acquiring the value of 97.2.
To get the clear picture of the value distribution, a
frequency distribution is shown in Table 2.

The largest number of students falls in the value
interval below 54. This shows that there are a large
number of students who had poor reading
comprehension ability on English reading passage.
Students had trouble in understanding the content
of the reading passage which in turn affected their
performance to digest the content. To investigate the
cause of their poor reading comprehension, this
study investigated their difficulties in reading
comprehension on statistic physics book reading
delivered in English. The data concerning their
reading difficulties is shown in the following section.
4.3 Difficulties in Reading Statistical
Physics Textbooks Delivered in
English
To investigate students’ difficulties in reading
comprehension on English textbook for statistical
physics, this study conducted questionnaire
distributed to the students involved in this study. The
question says: "What are your difficulties in
understanding the statistical physic concepts
delivered in English textbook?" There are several
responses to this question and the most frequent
answers concerning lack of vocabulary. This study
found that students' difficulties in understanding the
statistical physics concept of English textbook is due
to their lack of vocabulary. Their vocabulary mastery
is far below the requirement to achieve reading
comprehension ability on the reading passage.
BELTIC 2018 - 1st Bandung English Language Teaching International Conference
544
As a result of students’ low vocabulary mastery,
they become pessimistic to read and try to
understand the content delivered in English
textbooks. Things get worse when students avoid
English textbooks for learning resources. In line
with this situation, Koch and Eckstein (1991)
found that there are two types of readers when
dealing with reading passage, namely over optimism
and over pessimism. The former refers to those
students who are very confident in their reading
skills, while the latter refers to students who are not
confident and strongly disbelieve their reading skill.
To overcome students’ difficulties on their low
vocabulary mastery, they translate English textbooks
using the online application such as google translate
(translate.google.co.id). Unfortunately the
application can meet the accuracy demand to
transfer the text meaning. Most of the time, the
application delivers inappropriate meaning for
particular terms. Having taken the wrong translation,
students risk themselves in comprehending the
content of the reading passages.
5 CONCLUSION
This study was aimed at investigating students
summarizing ability, reading comprehension ability
and their difficulties in reading comprehension.
Participants in this study did not perform well in
summarizing the English passage. Instead of
summarizing, students translated the content of
reading they deal with. In a reading test, they had
poor performance to accomplish reading
comprehension test. This happened because they
were lack of vocabulary mastery and failed to
perform reading strategies to achieve solve reading
test. Last findings concern their difficulties to read
English textbook. They had one thing in common,
they had poor vocabulary comprehension.
Based on the findings of this study, there is a
need to improve pre-service physics teachers
competence in reading comprehension on Physics
concept delivered in English textbook. Their poor
performance might affect their future academic
achievement. There is a need on the part of the
university to solve these reading comprehension
problems. One of the possible effort is that English
subject should be designed to meet the objectives of
boosting pre-service physics teachers reading
comprehension ability.
This study has several limitations. Future study
can investigate pre-service physics teachers using
large-scale participants and different research
method to gain proper and sound findings
concerning pre-service physics teachers’ reading
comprehension ability
