Abstract

Reading is a fundamental skill that plays a crucial role in students’ academic success and language development. Students with a strong interest in reading are more likely to engage in reading activities, which may contribute to better reading comprehension. This study aimed to explore the relationship between reading interest and reading comprehension among elementary school students. The study employed a quantitative correlational research design. Data were collected using two research instruments: a reading interest questionnaire to measure students’ levels of reading interest and a reading comprehension test to assess their comprehension ability. The participants of the study were fifth-grade elementary school students selected through a random sampling technique. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics and Spearman Rank correlation analysis after meeting the necessary statistical assumptions. The findings revealed a significant positive relationship between reading interest and reading comprehension. Students with higher levels of reading interest tended to demonstrate better reading comprehension performance. These findings suggest that fostering students’ interest in reading may contribute to the improvement of their reading comprehension skills and support literacy development at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Many aspects of life have to be reorganized as an impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The application of physical distancing for the world of education forced the learning activities to be conducted through online systems. In the beginning, online learning was a highly difficult challenge for most educators, because they were unfamiliar with online learning and some of them were doubtful about the effectiveness of online learning. Consequently, many teachers implemented whatever learning strategies they thought to be effective to improve students’ learning achievement. This study explored effective learning strategies used by educators in Indonesia during the new normal era of Covid-19. This study used a mixed-method research design, and the data were collected by using a questionnaire and interviews. 216 respondents participated in this study consisting of university lecturers and schoolteachers. The collected data were then critically analysed, and the findings were described descriptively. This study revealed that educators mostly used online learning, blended learning, project-based learning, and limited face-to-face learning to continually enhance students’ learning competence. This study implies that teachers should creatively develop the existing teaching strategies to suit students’ learning conditions.
