CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

C. Implication

This study has some implications for instructional practices of language learning teaching and further research regarding the relationship among morphological competence, self-regulated learning, and reading comprehension.

Below is the explanation:

- For a lecturer and syllabus designer

As it is found that morphological competence and self-regulated learning contribute to reading comprehension, lecturer needs to use particular strategy in morphology and self-regulated learning in teaching reading. For instance, teachers can provoke students to pay more attention to word formation, such as suffixes, because it can help them infer the meaning and guess unfamiliar words in the text.

Furthermore, it is also crucial to encourage self-regulated students to monitor their motivation, cognition, and metacognitive strategy during reading. This will encourage them being successful reader. Moreover, for the syllabus designer, morphological competence should be put in the early year of the college curriculum.

It is due to the benefits of morphology to the reading found significant. Then, the self- regulated learning instruction should get immersed with the reading syllabus. It is necessary because it will affect lecturers to foster SRL environment in the classroom.

- For the future research:

This finding of the study can be used as the previous study data, which it strengthens the others' previous studies result from that reported there was a positive relationship among morphological competence, self-regulated learning, and reading comprehension. Having higher morphological competence and self-regulated learning will benefit students to comprehend the text. Also, for future study regarding this topic, the blueprint of the instrument may introduce the benefit of adaptability.

Following that, the blueprint should then be altered in the next study.

All mammals feed their young. Beluga whale mothers, for example, nurse their calves for some twenty months, until they are about to give birth again and their young are able to find their own food. The behavior of feeding the young is built into the reproductive system, it is a nonselective part of parental care and the defining features of a mammals–whether marsupials, platypuses, spiny anteaters, or placental mammals have in common.

But not all animal parents, even those that tend their offspring to the point of hatching or birth, feed their young. Most egg-guarding fish do not, for the simple reason that their young are so much smaller than the parents and eat food that is also much smaller than the food eaten by adults. In reptiles, the crocodile mother protects her young after they have hatched and takes them down the water, where they will find food, but she doesn’t actually feed them.

Few insects feed their young after hatching, but some make other arrangement, provisioning their cells and nests with caterpillars and spiders that they have paralyzed with their venom and stored in a state of suspended animation so that their larvae might have a supply of fresh food when they hatch.

For animals or other than mammals, feeding is not intrinsic to parental care. Animals add it to their reproductive strategies to give them an edge in their lifelong quest for descendants. The most vulnerable moment in any animal’s life is when it first find itself completely on its own, when it must forage and fend for itself. Feeding postpones that moment until a young animal has grown to such a size that it is better able to cope. Young that are fed by their parents become nutritionally independent at a much greater fraction of their full adult size and in the meantime those young are shielded against the vagaries of fluctuating of difficult to find supplies. Once a species does take the step of feeding its young, the young become totally dependent on the extra effort. If both parents are removed, the young generally do not survives.
