Abstract

This study aims to analyze the reading literacy skills of second-semester students based on the results of the Even Semester Midterm Assessment in the Indonesian Language and Literature course within the Primary School Teacher Education (PGSD) Program at Universitas Cenderawasih for the 2023/2024 academic year. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, with data collected through tests, interviews, and questionnaires. A total of 200 students from eight different classes participated in the study and were categorized into four literacy proficiency levels: in need of special intervention, basic, proficient, and advanced. The findings reveal variations in students’ reading literacy levels, with 4% categorized as needing special intervention, 30% at the basic level, 44% at the proficient level, and 22% at the advanced level. These literacy levels were measured using midterm test items that assessed three cognitive domains: retrieving information, interpreting and integrating, and evaluating and reflecting. The results indicate that students struggled particularly with cognitive tasks related to evaluation and reflection.These findings offer valuable insights for lecturers, providing a clearer understanding of students’ reading literacy capabilities. This information can serve as a foundation for reflective teaching practices and the formulation of more effective strategies aimed at improving students’ reading literacy—especially their critical and reflective thinking skills.

Abstract

This community service programme aims to strengthen basic literacy skills among primary school students at SDN Inpres Skow Mabo, a border-area school facing limited literacy resources and low student reading interest. The activity was initiated to respond to the school’s need for engaging and contextual literacy strategies that support the School Literacy Movement. The programme employed a participatory and collaborative approach involving lecturers, teachers, and students through three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation. Key activities included shared reading sessions, teacher training on interactive reading techniques, and creative literacy activities such as storytelling, poetry reading, and short story writing. Evaluation was conducted through observations, interviews, and assessments of students’ retelling abilities. The results show significant improvements in students’ reading comprehension, confidence, and interest in reading, alongside strengthened teacher capacity in integrating literacy strategies into classroom learning. The establishment of reading corners and locally themed reading materials also contributed to developing a sustainable literacy culture. This programme highlights the importance of collaborative, contextual, and practice-based approaches in enhancing literacy skills in remote primary schools.

Abstract

Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill in elementary education as it determines students’ academic success across subjects. However, classroom observations at SDN Inpres VIM 2 Kotaraja indicated that fourth-grade students experienced difficulties in identifying main ideas, making inferences, and drawing conclusions from texts, which reflects the need for more engaging and student-centered learning approaches. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on students’ reading comprehension skills. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design. The participants consisted of 30 students in the experimental class and 28 students in the control class. The instrument was a reading comprehension test covering indicators of identifying main ideas, understanding explicit information, making inferences, and concluding text content. The instrument demonstrated high reliability with a Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of 0.84. Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and an independent sample t-test at a significance level of 0.05. The findings revealed a significant difference between the experimental and control groups (t = 5.77; p < 0.001), with the experimental group achieving higher posttest scores. These results indicate that the Problem Based Learning model significantly improves students’ reading comprehension skills and supports the implementation of student-centered learning in the Merdeka Curriculum framework
