Some Petinent Ideas
Concept of Scanning Technique
Meanwhile, Grellet (1981) claims that scanning is a quick search for a specific piece of information in a text. According to Casey, scanning is a device used to locate detail-specific questions that may be asked at the end of an assignment, so it is very useful for students to look for specific information to get answers to questions in an assignment or exam. and thus reduce their time to answer the questions in the text. In addition, Nuttal says that scanning means skimming a text quickly to find specific information (eg, name, place, time) or to get an initial impression of whether the text is suitable for a given purpose.
On the other hand, Macleod (2005:3) states that scanning is a type of speed reading technique used when the reader wants to locate a particular piece of information without necessarily understanding the rest of a text or passage and the reader can study the text or passage. text in more detail. The process can be done by reading the title, reading the introduction of the paragraph and reading the first sentence of every other paragraph to find the idea or information needed in the text. It can also be said as the ability to infer the messages of the text.
Students' ability to provide examples of evidence and statements to assert something is true. This skill is used to tell people or the speaker who utters the words or phrases in the text. The ability to find the known word or synonymous words whose words are used in the text.
In other words, this skill is used to identify the general structure of the text. It can also be used to refer to text that belongs to an inductive and deductive paragraph.
Research Design
This chapter discusses the research design, variable, population and sample, instrument of the study, data collection procedure and data analysis technique. A post-test was administered after implementing the scanning technique and to measure how much the student improved after receiving the treatment.

After collecting the data of the students, we classify the score of the students according to the following criteria. The findings of this research presented the result covering students' improvement in reading comprehension and found out the main idea through scanning technique.
Findings
The Students’ Reading Comprehension in Term Main Idea The findings present the result of score percentage of students’
The result of this research proved that there was improvement after the use of scanning technique in students' reading comprehension. On pre-test the students got 3.01 average score and in post-test students got 5.5 average score. In the pre-test, the researcher presented the result of the percentage of students' values students' reading comprehension in main idea before using scanning technique.
This means that the scores and percentages of the students in the pre-test were still low because half of the students achieved non-fluent grades. In the post-test, the researcher presented the result of the students' reading comprehension percentage points according to the main idea after the application. This study included 20 students and was conducted in the second class of students of SMP Negeri 26 Makassar.
It means that the scores and percentages of the students in the post-test improved slightly because some students obtained good scores. The students for the main idea in the pre-test had a score of 3.01 and the students' score in the post-test was 5.5 and the percentage improvement between the pre-test and the post-test was 83%. The above frequency showed that students' score on pre-test and post-test.
After applying the scanning technique, students' scores improved where the post-test was higher than the pre-test. In the pretest, none of them were categorized as excellent, very good and fair, while in the posttest, none of them were categorized as very good and fair good.
Hypothesis Testing
Discussion
Nevertheless, some setbacks in the implementation of the scanning technique were also found during this study. By introducing and explaining the scanning technique, the whole student could not understand what scanning technique is, so the researcher had to explain them slowly and also repeatedly, because we knew that the students' understanding level was different from each student. In addition, using scanning technique in the classroom, some of the students need to be guided one by one, from how to read quickly until they got the specific information.
Thus, we can conclude that there was an improvement in students' reading comprehension after using the scanning technique. In the post-test, the researcher presented the result of the students' percentage points in reading comprehension according to the main idea after using the scanning technique. This means that the results and percentages of students in the post-test were slightly higher because half of the students achieved good results.
It means that the student scores and percentages in the post-test improved slightly because half of the students achieved a good score. It could be concluded that there was an improvement in students' reading comprehension after the treatment using the scanning technique. The average score of students' reading comprehension on reading skills showed that students scored better after using the scanning technique.
Referring to the results of the analysis of the students' understanding, it could be concluded that the students of class VIII 4 of SMP 26 Makassar succeeded in improving students' reading ability especially in reading comprehension in term main idea after using scanning technique. Based on the result of data analysis and the discussion of the result in the previous chapter, the researcher comes to the conclusion that, the students'.
