Abstract

This research aims to determine the level of willingness to read of theology students at a private university in Indonesia, to find a correlation between willingness to read and reading achievement, and to find out what factors influence willingness to read. This research was conducted using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 41 theology students and qualitative data was collected by interviewing 4 of the research participants. This research used descriptive, correlational, and thematic data analysis to answer three research questions. This study found that the level of willingness to read from theology students was medium-high. The correlation between willingness to read and reading achievement is moderately significant and statistically positive, and reading goals, supporting teaching practices, and reading preferences influence students' willingness to read. So, this research can be useful for teachers and students to be able to adjust the factors that influence the availability of reading to increase reading achievement. This research suggests further research to investigate the correlation between willingness to read and reading achievement along with the factors that influence it using other methods or larger contexts.
