Abstract

It is obvious that students face difficulties in understanding words and identifying story elements when reading narrative texts. Moreover, they often exhibit disinterest, boredom, passivity, and reluctant to participate in reading class activities. One of the effective teaching methods that can be employed to address this issue is the use of picture series. The objective of this study was to determine the level of impact that picture series have on students' reading comprehension in narrative text. A quantitative approach of quasi experimental design was employed to analyze the data collected from the study's results. The study involved a total of 64 students who were divided into two groups: an experimental group consisting of 32 participants who were taught narrative texts using picture series, and a control group of 32 participants who were taught using a textbook. The data collected from the study were analyzed using SPSS to determine if there was a significant impact on students' reading comprehension when picture series were utilized. The results of the independent sample t-test showed a significant value (2-tailed) of 0.01, which was lower than the significance level of 0.05 (0.01 < 0.05). Consequently, it was concluded that the alternative hypothesis, which stated that there was a significant effect of using picture series on students' reading achievement, was supported. This suggests that the use of picture series had a notable influence on students' reading achievement when learning narrative texts.

Abstract

Mastering writing is a fundamental skill that can be challenging even for native speakers. In this research, a quantitative experimental design was employed. Specifically, a quasi-experimental design with a non-equivalent control group design was utilized. The research subject is first grade students of SMPN 01 Sumberbaru Jember which covers up to 56 students which devided into two groups (experimental group and control group). The data are collected by using writing test and paying attention to content, organization, vocabulary, language use and writing mechanics. The findings of the research indicated a significant difference in scores between students who were taught using the Picture Word Inductive Model and those who were not. According to the statistical calculations, the experimental group attained a mean posttest score of 79.57, while the control group obtained a mean score of 60.14. The two-tailed significance value (sig) was found to be 0.00, which is below the alpha level of 0.05. Consequently, the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H1) was accepted. In conclusion, the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) proved to be an effective approach for teaching writing descriptive paragraphs to junior high school students.
