Abstract

Purpose – Reading comprehension includes identifying key concepts, drawing conclusions, and critically engaging with written resources, all of which are integral to academic success and communication. However, disinterest, insufficient vocabulary and an inclination toward technology have hindered students' reading growth. This study investigates the effectiveness of gamified quizzes, explicitly using the Quizizz application, in enhancing reading comprehension among junior high school students. Methodology – Employing a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest framework, the study was conducted with Class VII-A students at SMP 1 Yogyakarta during the 2024/2025 academic year. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Findings – Descriptive statistics of pretest and posttest scores have indicated an enhancement in students' reading comprehension, with the average moving from 58.33 to 79.53. The results underscore the capacity of gamified quizzes to enhance engagement, motivation, and literacy abilities, presenting a viable solution to modern issues in reading instruction.Significance – Future study should investigate the broader applications of gamified technologies and their persistent impact on learning outcomes.Keywords: Reading; reading comprehension; quizzes application

The research employed a quasi-experimental design, utilizing pre- and post-tests administered to both control and experimental groups. The instrument of this research was a reading test that was given to 25 students in each class of pre-test and post-test. The data analyzed; the researcher used SPSS version 25. The data showed that in descriptive statistics the mean score from pretest control was 44.07 and 47.87 of pre-experiment while the test was getting more improvement in post-test. In post-control was 66.60 while post-test experiment was 80.63. In normality test showed that the significant score was >0.05 which means this test was normally distributed and homogeneity of variance showed the scores are of significance was >0.05 which meant the test was homogeneity. Finally, to analyze the impact of the quizzes in reading comprehension, the researcher used a paired sample test which showed that those pairs, namely pre-control to post control, were 0.00 which meant <0.05. Therefore, it can be concluded that there was a significantly improvement in students' reading comprehension skill in English used quizzes.
