Abstract

The issue of low early reading proficiency among students is the primary focus of this study. This research aims to analyze the factors influencing students' reading difficulties, describe the implementation of the Literacy Alphabet Cards (KAL) as a learning medium in early-grade classrooms, and present the outcomes of its application in teaching. A qualitative research method with a descriptive design was employed. Data collection techniques included observations, interviews, and the direct involvement of the researcher in the learning process. Data were analyzed using an interactive data analysis technique encompassing data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing with verification. The findings reveal internal factors affecting reading difficulties, such as intelligence levels and learning motivation, as well as external factors, including family and community environments. The KAL medium was designed using simple materials and implemented directly during the teaching process. The application of the KAL medium proved effective in enhancing early reading skills, as evidenced by improvements in students’ learning outcomes. The study concludes that the KAL medium can serve as an innovative alternative to addressing early reading difficulties by incorporating approaches that consider both internal and external student factors.

Abstract

Purpose: Interactive technology and applications have been widely used in learning, but studies that comprehensively evaluate their effectiveness through student activity, learning efficiency, learning outcomes, and teacher and student sat-isfaction levels are still limited. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of the Pear Deck application in learning to write poetry texts at SMAN 1 Karanganom based on these four aspects. Methodology: The method used in this study is qualitative descriptive with a case study re-search design. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and questionnaires from 35 students in class XI E SMAN 1 Karanganom, Klaten. Data analysis was carried out based on five stages according to John W. Cre-swell and J. David Creswell: (1) preparing the data, (2) displaying the data, (3) encrypting the data, (4) compiling descriptions and themes, and (5) pre-senting the results. Data validity is guaranteed through triangulation of tech-niques and sources. Results: The results of the study show that students are active during the learning pro-cess, with good interaction between peers and teachers. Learning runs effi-ciently because all students can complete the exercises on time. As many as 74% of students obtained a score in the good category, and 26 out of 35 stu-dents expressed satisfaction with the use of the Pear Deck application in learning to write poetry. Applications/Originality/Value: This research provides new insights in evaluating technology-based learning as a whole using four main aspects. These findings are useful for teachers in starting the effectiveness of learning technology.
