The population of this research was all students of class XI Science at SMAN 3 Sungai Penuh which total of students were 155. The sample of this research was one of the XI Science classes, specifically class XI Science 3, using the cluster random sampling technique for sample selection. The data collection technique used was test. And the data analysis was conducted descriptively. The results of this research showed that before using the silent reading method, the average score was 48.31, with a maximum score of 68 and a minimum of 40. After using the silent reading method, the average score increased to 67.06, with a maximum score of 81 and a minimum of 61. The normality test showed that the pretest and posttest data had significant values more than α (0.375 > 0.05 and 0.715 > 0.05), indicating a normal data distribution. The impact of this research was important for teachers to choose appropriate teaching methods that align with the materials and learning objectives, and it can recommend the use of silent reading as an effective method to enhance the reading comprehension skills of eleventh-grade science students at SMAN 3 Sungai Penuh.

Abstract

Reading skills are one of the fundamental competencies essential to the learning process, particularly in secondary education. At the high school level, students are expected not only to read but also to comprehend and analyze complex texts, such as analytical exposition texts. However, reading ability is influenced not only by cognitive factors but also by psychological aspects, including self-confidence. This study aims to examine the relationship between students’ self-confidence and their reading skills in analytical exposition texts. The research was conducted using a quantitative approach with a correlational design involving students of class XI F8 at SMAN 11 Jambi City. Data were collected through a self-confidence questionnaire and a reading comprehension test. The results revealed a moderate correlation between self-confidence and reading skill, with a correlation coefficient of 0.574. However, self-confidence only accounted for 10.7% of the variance in reading scores, indicating that other factors, such as vocabulary mastery, reading strategies, and learning environment, play a more significant role. These findings suggest the need for a holistic approach in improving students’ reading skills by not only enhancing self-confidence but also incorporating effective reading strategies and supportive learning environments

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the perceptions of 11th-grade Fashion Design students at SMKN 4 Jambi City regarding the use of ChatGPT as a tool for learning English vocabulary. The research employed a qualitative design with interviews as the main instrument, involving 15 purposively selected students as participants. The collected data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns of students’ perceptions and experiences. The findings reveal that most students perceive ChatGPT positively, highlighting its practicality, efficiency, and ability to enhance motivation and learning autonomy. ChatGPT supports vocabulary acquisition through several mechanisms: repetition (behaviorist learning), contextual explanations (cognitivist learning), and elaboration by connecting new and prior knowledge. Students reported increased confidence in using English vocabulary, particularly in written assignments and informal communication. However, challenges were also noted, including initial confusion in formulating prompts and occasional inaccuracies in responses. In conclusion, ChatGPT demonstrates strong potential as an adaptive and personalized language learning tool, especially for vocational-specific vocabulary. To optimize its effectiveness, students require guidance in prompt formulation and critical evaluation of the information provided.
