Abstract

This research aimed to determine whether the implementation of the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) strategy could improve the reading comprehension of tenth-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan. The main problems faced by the students were their difficulty in understanding English reading texts and their lack of attention to punctuation while reading. These problems affected their confidence and comprehension during reading activities. Therefore, the researcher implemented the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) strategy to help students pay more attention to punctuation and understand the content of English reading texts more effectively. This research used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The subjects of the research were two classes: class X TKJ A as the experimental class, consisting of 22 students, and class X TKJ B as the control class, consisting of 20 students. Before the treatment was conducted, both classes were given a pre-test to measure their initial reading comprehension. The treatment was carried out in eight meetings using reading texts. After the treatment, a post-test was administered to measure the students’ improvement. The data were analyzed using a paired-sample t-test through the SPSS program. The results showed that the mean score of the experimental class increased from 54.17 to 65.70, while the mean score of the control class increased from 49.67 to 60.37. The t-test value was 2.364, which was higher than the t-table value of 2.021. This indicated that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis was accepted. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Scaffolded Reading Experience (SRE) strategy was effective in improving students’ reading comprehension at SMK Negeri 1 Dampal Selatan.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the implementation of character education in an effort to improve the sense of responsibility among eighth-grade students at SIS Aljufri SMP Negeri 2 Dampal Selatan. This research was motivated by the discovery of various student behaviors that reflect low attitudes of responsibility, including tardiness in attending classes, lack of discipline in completing assignments, and minimal concern for school cleanliness and order. The approach used in this research is descriptive qualitative with a case study type of research. Data collections were carried out through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques, with the research subjects consisting of teachers and students of class VIII SIS Aljufri. The results of the research showed that character education at SMP Negeri 2 Dampal Selatan has been implemented through the integration of character values in learning activities, the cultivation of positive attitudes in the school environment, the example set by teachers, and the enforcement of school rules. The responsibility attitude of students has generally improved, particularly in the performance of tasks and participation in the learning process, although there are still some students who need continuous guidance. Factors supporting the improvement in responsibility attitude include the role of teachers as role models, the support of the school environment, and the existence of strict rules and sanctions. The inhibiting factors include differences in student character, limited learning time, and the influence of the environment outside of school. Therefore, character education has a strategic role in shaping students' attitudes of responsibility when it is implemented consistently and continuously.
