Abstract

Penelitian ini menyelidiki hubungan antara sikap membaca siswa dan pemahaman membaca pada siswa kelas delapan di MTsN 1 Pasaman. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengatasi tiga masalah utama: (1) beberapa siswa kurang terlibat dalam kegiatan membaca, (2) beberapa siswa memiliki pengetahuan kosa kata yang terbatas sehingga mempengaruhi pemahaman, dan (3) beberapa siswa memiliki pola pikir negatif dan efikasi diri dalam tugas membaca. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain penelitian korelasional. Populasinya terdiri dari 369 siswa kelas VIII, dengan sampel 30 siswa kelas VIII.1 yang dipilih melalui cluster random sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan angket sikap membaca dan tes pemahaman membaca, kemudian dievaluasi menggunakan product moment Pearson karena memenuhi persyaratan pengujian statistik parametrik. Analisis korelasi menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan, kuat, dan positif antara sikap membaca dan pemahaman membaca (r = 0,749, p <0,001). Peneliti menemukan bahwa banyak komponen sikap membaca, seperti karakteristik kognitif, afektif, konatif, dan perilaku, kemungkinan besar berkontribusi positif terhadap keterampilan pemahaman membaca siswa. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sikap membaca meningkat, pemahaman membaca cenderung meningkat, dan sebaliknya. Skor afektif yang tinggi (1639) kemungkinan besar bertanggung jawab atas skor konatif yang kuat (1296), karena perasaan senang tentang membaca sering kali mengarah pada rencana untuk membaca lebih lanjut. Meskipun komponen perilaku (915) lebih kecil dibandingkan komponen afektif dan konatif, namun komponen ini menunjukkan praktik membaca aktual yang ekstensif, yang kemungkinan besar akan menghasilkan kinerja yang baik dalam menemukan rincian (236) dan gagasan utama (179). Singkatnya, hubungan yang kuat antara sikap membaca dan pemahaman menekankan perlunya mengembangkan sikap membaca yang positif untuk meningkatkan pemahaman membaca.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of using the guided conversation method on the speaking ability of eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Bukittinggi. The research was motivated by the observation that students' speaking scores were below the standard, and teaching methods tended to emphasize memorization. Additionally, students struggled with speaking in English and received limited feedback on their performance. This quasi-experimental research involved pre-tests and post-tests with an experimental and control group. The sample consisted of 58 students selected through cluster random sampling, divided equally into two classes. A speaking test was used as the research instrument, and inter-rater reliability was applied to ensure test consistency. Data analysis included normality and homogeneity tests, while hypothesis testing employed paired sample T-tests and independent sample T-tests using SPSS. The results showed a significant improvement in the speaking ability of students taught using the guided conversation method (Sig. < 0.05). Moreover, a comparison between the experimental and control groups revealed a significant difference, with the experimental group achieving higher post-test scores. Thus, it can be concluded that the guided conversation method effectively improves students' speaking ability.
