Abstract

The research aimed to improve students’ reading by using Schoology e-learning. With 27 students as participants, this research used classroom action research method (planning, action, observing and reflecting) and descriptive analysis techniques to present the results of students' test. In cycle I, the writers claimed that some students were paying attention when lecturer taught them, responding to questions, and finishing classwork and homework. Meanwhile, several problems appeared because the other students were late to submit, passive in discussion, and difficult to follow Schoology instruction along with the unstable internet connection or unavailable quota. Besides, the writers neither give them motivation in each meeting nor review the previous lesson and give feedback to their results of learning. The students’ score improved from 65 (pre-test) to 69 (post-test) even under the target specified. In cycle II, students were more enthusiastic to follow the learning process. They were able to finish the classwork/homework in Schoology on time. The writers were always giving motivation and trying to do their best so that the students could achieve their targets or the improvement in reading. The mean score of post-tests in cycle II (74,8) showed that reading using schoology seemed to run effectively.

The total number of students was 51  students of 2nd semester, and the data was collected through interviews questionnaires. The data  analysis technique used was to explain the data from the questionnaire, which was handled  using Google Forms. Google Form serves as a digital form to gather data in this study, and the  findings serve to analyze the data. To put it another way, it was transformed into a pie or bar  chart. The findings revealed that, in general, students' perceptions of reading strategies were  favorable (positive), since most of them still pay attention and perform pre-reading, during  reading,  and  after  reading  strategies.  Reading  strategies  will  always  help  and  support  the  students in their reading comprehension performance.
