Abstract
The aims of this research were to determine the effect of learning model that can improve students’ reading interest and metacognitive awareness. This research employed quasi-experimental design which purpose is to increase students’ reading interest and metacognitive awareness through the use of Remap learning model which is integrated to several cooperative learning (Reading-Concept Mapping-Cooperative Learning) including Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC), Group Investigation (GI), Teams Games Tournaments (TGT). The sample for this research was selected randomly students from two high schools in Malang city, Indonesia. The was survey form utilized to get data of reading interest and metacognitive awareness. The data were then analyzed using an Ancova. The results showed that Remap- CIRC was the most advantageous learning model in improving reading interest compared to other learning models. While for the metacognitive awareness, the future research needs to consider other more accurate and precise instruments for measuring the metacognitive awareness.
