Abstract

This study looked into how well tenth-grade students' reading comprehension of narrative texts was improved by Google Play Books. The researchers also looked into the challenges that teachers and students encountered when utilizing Google Play Books in the classroom. A mixed-methods approach with an explanatory design was used in the study. Twenty students from a private high school in Batujajar who were in the tenth grade took part in the study. Through experiments, observations, questionnaires, and field notes, the researchers gathered data. The findings demonstrated how well Google Play Books works to increase readers' understanding of narrative text. Both students and teachers found the software to be helpful in the learning process. The program was not very difficult for the teachers to use, although they did run into some errors and issues while using it on some students' iPhones. Additionally, the students encountered certain practical and technological challenges when using Google Play Books, including signal issues, internet data utilization, and app satisfaction. According to the study's findings, teachers can successfully teach reading comprehension in narrative literature in the classroom by utilizing Google Play Books. However, in terms of technical concerns and selecting an interesting story, teachers need to be more prepared.

Abstract

Grade XI students often struggle to generate and organize ideas logically in expository writing due to limited pre-writing support. Digital mind mapping tools such as XMind may address this gap. This study aims to develop and evaluate the feasibility of an XMind-assisted mind mapping worksheet designed to support students' expository writing skills at a senior high school in Cimahi. This study used a Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model. The participants consisted of 10 students in the limited trial and 20 students in the field trial. Data were gathered using expert validation sheets, questionnaires, and field notes, then analyzed using descriptive quantitative methods. The worksheet was validated by two expert lecturers based on three aspects: learning objectives, material selection, and assignment use, exercises, and tests, achieving an overall validity score of 83.93%, which falls into the “very valid” category. Furthermore, students responded positively to the use of the worksheet, suggesting higher engagement, enhanced concept organization, and a better knowledge of expository text form. Therefore, the XMind-assisted worksheet is considered valid, practical, and feasible for supporting the teaching of writing skills.
