Abstract
IMPROVING STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION THROUGH COOPERATIVE LEARNING AT GRADE VIIA STUDENTS OF SMP N 3 MERTOYUDAN IN THE ACADEMIC YEAR OF 2010/2011 By: Hasni Parti Ningsih NIM: 0620224117 ABSTRACT This study is action research that aims to describe the types of cooperative learning activities and their implementation to improve the students’ reading comprehension at grade VIIA of SMPN 3 Mertoyudan in the academic year of 2010/2011. The research was carried out at the second semester from May, 5nd to May, 25th 2011. The research members consisted of the researcher, the principal, the English teacher, and the students of grade VIIA. The steps were: reconnaissance, planning, action and observation, and reflection. The research was conducted in two cycles. The data of this study were qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative data were obtained by observing the teaching and learning process during the implementation of the actions and interviewing the students and the collaborator about the implemented actions. The qualitative data were in the form of photography, field notes and interview transcripts. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were gained by assessing the students’ reading comprehension through the pre-test and post-test. Therefore, the quantitative data were in the form of students’ reading scores in the pre-test and post-test. The results of Cycle I showed that the implementation of cooperative learning activities (numbered head together, group investigation, make a match and jigsaw) and other accompanying actions (i.e. using genre based approach, creating various reading task, creating interesting learning media) were successful in improving the students’ reading comprehension. However, cooperative learning activities which was implemented through group investigation was not successful because there were some students who were not actively engaged in the tasks/activities. Therefore, the researcher improved that action by giving each student a different responsibility to finish the task. Meanwhile, it was shown in Cycle II that the implementation cooperative learning activities (round robin brainstorming and team games tournament) and other accompanying actions (i.e. using genre based approach, creating various reading task, creating interesting learning media) were successful in improving the students’ reading comprehension. From the two cycles, the implementations of cooperative learning were obviously effective to improve the students’ reading comprehension. The improvement covers; (1)The students ability to comprehend the reading text,(2) the students’ involvement in the reading teaching-learning process, and (3) the students’ participation in the reading teaching-learning process. The findings were supported by the means of the students’ reading scores which had improved from 63.27 in the pre-test to 79.30 in the post-test.
