Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model and to determine the improvement of reading interest among fourth-grade students at MIS Muhammadiyah Cece. The study was motivated by the students' low reading interest, marked by weak reading habits, low reading motivation, and limited involvement in reading activities during Indonesian language lessons. This research used Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 17 fourth-grade students, consisting of 10 female and 7 male students. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively and quantitatively by calculating the percentages of learning implementation, student activity, and reading interest in every cycle. The results showed that the implementation of PBL improved students' reading interest. In Cycle I, only 30% of students reached the mastery criterion, with student activity at 74% (active category) and learning implementation at 83% (very good category). In Cycle II, reading interest increased to 82%, exceeding the success indicator of at least 75% of students scoring ≥80, while student activity and learning implementation both reached 96% (very active and very good). It is concluded that the PBL model is effective in improving fourth-grade students' reading interest at MIS Muhammadiyah Cece.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental component of English learning at the junior high school level, yet many Indonesian students continue to struggle because available reading materials are often unfamiliar and disconnected from their daily lives. This research aimed to determine the effect of modifying reading materials about Enrekang on students’ reading comprehension and to explore students’ perceptions of the use of the modified materials. A quantitative approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design was applied, involving 26 seventh-grade students of UPT SMP Negeri 2 Enrekang selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a reading comprehension test and a questionnaire, and were analyzed through descriptive statistics, normality and homogeneity tests, and a paired-samples t-test. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ reading comprehension after the implementation of the modified reading materials, with the mean score increasing from 55.69 in the pre-test to 89.81 in the post-test, and the paired-samples t-test showing a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). The questionnaire results further indicated that students perceived the modified materials as attractive, easy to understand, relevant to their local context, and helpful for improving their reading comprehension. In conclusion, modifying reading materials about Enrekang effectively improved students’ reading comprehension and created a more meaningful learning experience, as the integration of simplified language and local content enhanced both students’ reading achievement and their motivation, confidence, and engagement in reading English texts.
