Abstract

This study looks into students' thoughts on the use of Google Forms as a learning assessment tool in English language assessments. The research employed a quantitative methodology using questionnaires to gather data from fifth-grade students at SD KARTIKA 1-4 Pematangsiantar. The study focused on three key aspects of Google Forms: attractiveness, accessibility, and effectiveness. Due to the data, students generally found Google Forms attractive, with most of them like the platform's display. . However, accessibility posed challenges, with students reporting difficulties operating Google Forms, experiencing interruptions due to slow internet connections, and expressing concerns about the potential for cheating.  Regarding effectiveness, students found Google Forms facilitated understanding of English test questions and preferred it over traditional paper-based tests. They also felt more confident answering questions using Google Forms. However, the immediate feedback provided by Google Forms caused anxiety for some students. .  The study concludes that while Google Forms offers advantages in terms of convenience and accessibility, Challenges connected to internet access, technological concerns, and the possibility for cheating must be overcome to ensure its successful and equitable use in educational contexts. The findings highlight the importance of considering students' perspectives when integrating digital assessment tools into the learning process and underscore the need for ongoing efforts to improve the accessibility and reliability of such technologies.

Abstract

This research aimed to find out the effect of applying the Discovery Learning method on students’ reading comprehension achievement at SMA Negeri 1 Loura in the academic year 2022/2023. The study applied a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The population was all the students of class XI IPA, and the sample consisted of two classes: class XI IPA 1 as the experimental group and class XI IPA 2 as the control group. The instrument used was a reading comprehension test in the form of multiple-choice questions. Data were collected through a pre-test, treatment, and post-test. The validity and reliability of the instrument were tested before its use. Data analysis was carried out using statistical calculations, including the t-test formula, to compare the mean scores of the experimental and control groups. The results of the research showed that the mean score of the experimental group after treatment was significantly higher than that of the control group. The statistical analysis confirmed that the application of the Discovery Learning method had a positive effect on improving students’ reading comprehension achievement. In conclusion, the Discovery Learning method can be considered an effective teaching strategy in enhancing students’ reading comprehension, and it is recommended for English teachers to implement this method in the classroom.
