Abstract
The objective of this study is to improve reading comprehension through jigsaw technique of the eight grade students at SMP I Wonosobo. This research applied the principles of action research. It was conducted in two cycles. The subjects of the study were 28 students of Class VIII D of SMP N 1 Wonosobo. In collecting data, the research employed some techniques, namely observation, interview and reading test. The data were in the forms of field notes, students’ tests and interview transcripts. To deal with the problems, the researcher implemented Jigsaw technique as the main activity. This research employed the strategies of recognizing the description pattern for descriptive texts and recognizing the sequence pattern for recount texts because the focus on this study was descriptive and recount texts. In reference to the application of two cycles, the results of this study show that the implementation of Jigsaw Cooperative Learning technique in the reading class is effective to improve students’ English reading comprehension competence through its cooperative and systematic learning structures which motivate students to learn reading, maximize students’ participation during the reading activities, and reduce students’ boredom in learning. The students were able to identify the ideas of paragraphs explained in supporting details and topics told in the chronological order in the texts so that they understood the texts. In addition, these activities made them become more active because they were accustomed to identifying the patterns before they answered questions. They also enjoyed the teaching and learning process of reading. It can be shown by the improvement scores of pre-test, post-test and progress test 1 and 2 of recount and descriptive from 6.3 to 8.3 and 9.32 to 9.42 respectively. This implies that the implementation of Jigsaw Cooperative Learning technique gives positive effects to the improvement of students’ performance and achievement in the teaching and learning process.
