Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti: i) peningkatan kemampuan pemahaman membaca siswa melalui penerapan teknik TPS dan ii) hambatan yang dihadapi siswa selama penerapan teknik TPS. Data diperoleh dari pre-test, post-test dan lembar pengamatan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan signifikan secara statistik pada pencapaian pemahaman membaca siswa dengan tingkat signifikan (0.000.05). Hasil dari lembar pengamatan menunjukkan bahwa rendahnya penguasaan kosakata dan kesulitan menginterpretasi ide dalam text adalah hambatan utama yang dihadapi siswa selama penerapan TPS. Bagaimanapun, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa teknik TPS dapat diterapkan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan membaca siswa.The objectives of this study were to investigate: i) the students improvement on reading comprehension achievement after they were taught through TPS technique and ii) the students constraints during the implementation of TPS technique. The data were obtained from the pre-test, the post-test, and the observation sheet. The result showed that there was a statistically significant improvement of students reading comprehension as the significant level (0.000.05). Furthermore, the results of the observation sheet showed that low vocabulary mastery and difficulty in interpreting the idea of the text became the major constraints encountered by the students during the implementation of TPS. However, this suggests that TPS technique can be applicable to improve students reading comprehension.Key words: reading, reading comprehension, TPS technique
