Abstract

        Reading comprehension is an important skill for students, but many still have difficulties understanding and interpreting texts effectively. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Generating Interactions between Schemata and Text (GIST) strategy on students’ reading comprehension achievement. The study also explored how the strategy helped students understand texts through summarizing, activating prior knowledge, and discussing ideas collaboratively. A pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was used involving 32 seventh-grade students at SMP Maitreyawira Palembang. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ post-test scores (M = 74.14, SD = 6.32) compared to their pre-test scores (M = 50.23, SD = 7.11), t(31) = 17.876, p < .001. These findings indicate that the GIST strategy effectively improved students’ reading comprehension. Therefore, the strategy can be used as an alternative teaching method to support reading instruction in English classes.
