Based on this analysis, it is known that the correlation between content schemata and reading comprehension is 0,71 which means that Null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and Alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. As a result, it can be concluded that there is a positive, strong correlation between content schemata and reading comprehension.
