Abstract

- Reading activity can provide a variety of advantages and it is highly related to reading interest. Having an interest can encourage someone to perceive reading as enjoyable. The Scientific Journal is one of the many reading resources that are accessible in daily life. Scientific readings, such as Scientific Journals, are extremely valuable to students; consequently, it is critical to understand how interested students are in reading scientific articles and what factors influence their interest in reading journals. This study falls under the category of qualitative research that employs a descriptive-survey methodology. In this study, the population consisted of all students from Business Administration Department at Kupang State Polytechnic for the 2022/2023 academic year, with 91 students serving as a sample. An open-ended questionnaire was employed as the main data collection tool. The author used descriptive statistics in the data analysis stage, calculating frequencies and percentages and then calculating the average results to measure the level of interest in reading using the modified Title-Rating from Haskins in Rahmani (2019)[1] as well as describing or elaborating the questionnaire results to a more detailed and clear narrative which refers to theories and benchmarks of reading interest. In general, the data analysis in this study refers to Miles and Huberman’s (in Nugrahani) [2] interactive model data analysis, which consists of three stages: (1) data reduction, (2) data display, and (3) conclusion/verification. This study was conducted using six indicators of reading interest. The Motivation to Read indicator had the largest percentage of positive replies among the six indicators, while the Use of Time indicator had the lowest. This implies that students are already motivated to read, but this is not combined by good and consistent reading time management. As a result, it can be inferred that interest in reading Scientific Journals for Business Administration students remains Moderate.
