Abstract

Even though pre-service teachers are crucial to raising educational standards, there is a disconnect between classroom theory and real-world practice. Preservice teachers' perspectives on the Teaching-Campus Program's impact on their professional growth as educators are the focus of this research. The research team used quantitative methods and descriptive analysis to gather data from a closed-ended questionnaire. The questionnaire assessed eight different areas of teaching abilities: lesson planning, explanation, variation, questioning, reinforcement, classroom management, small group instruction, and small group discussion facilitation. With a mean score of 90.63 percent, the results demonstrated that the pre-service teachers' capacity to articulate ideas clearly and provide appropriate examples was the strongest competency. Questioning skills followed with a mean score of 90.00%, while opening and closing the lessons skills scored 89.69%. Reinforcement skills recorded a mean score of 88.33%, and classroom management skills reached 87.71%. Small group teaching skills and variation skills achieved mean scores of 85.32% and 85.00%, respectively. Guiding small group discussions skills obtained the lowest score of 80.94%, indicating the need for further improvement in this area. As a whole, the Teaching-Campus Program has helped prepare future educators for the classroom by connecting classroom practice with classroom theory. If they want to advance in their careers, they should get more training on how to lead group discussions and how to change up their teaching methods.

The objective of this study was to find out how the KWL strategy could improve students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text. The design of the research was collaborative classroom action research. This research was conducted in two cycles; each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection. By using the purposive sampling technique, the students in XD of a certain school in Semarang were selected as the sample of this study. The sample consisted of 30 students, 20 females and 10 males. The researchers used an observation sheet and a test to collect the data. The result showed that the KWL strategy was a way of teaching reading comprehension of descriptive text. Based on the test score, in cycle one, there were 50% students who achieved a minimum standard score, and in cycle two, 90% students achieved a minimum standard score. Thus, it could be concluded that the KWL strategy could improve students’ reading comprehension of descriptive text in the way of helping students to reach the minimum standard score.
