Abstract

Reading comprehension skills are vital for students' information acquisition in elementary schools. However, the facts on the ground show that since the COVID-19 pandemic, students' reading skills have decreased, which is quite concerning. Solutions are needed to prevent reading comprehension problems in elementary schools. One way is to implement learning strategies that involve active student participation. This study aims to analyze the differences in the effect of the DRTA and PQRST strategies on students' reading comprehension skills. This research is a quasi-experimental quantitative research with a 2x2 factorial design. The data collection method used an essay test divided into a pretest and a posttest. The instrument used in collecting data is test questions. A total of 98 grade IV students were given treatment using the DRTA and PQRST strategies to test the difference in significance between the two and their effect on reading comprehension skills. Data were analyzed using the T-test. The results showed significant differences in reading comprehension skills in the group taught with the DRTA strategy and the group taught with the PQRST strategy. It was concluded that the DRTA group had a better effect. Choosing the right learning strategy can restore students' reading comprehension skills which have decreased due to the pandemic.

Abstract

In the literature, it is believed that question is an integral part of education. However, the studies on questions used by teachers in all education levels are mainly conducted on typical development students. Studies on how teachers use English questions to enhance communication and learning outcomes of students with special needs are still limited. The aims of this study is to analyze how teachers in a bilingual school expose English as a second language and customize the questions to elementary students with special needs. This study used Stake's instrumental case study method. The data were collected by having observation in the special need classroom twice a week for four months. The subject of this study are two teachers from a bilingual school were observed during lessons and individually interviewed. The data is analyzed and encoded anonymized. Then the code is evaluated to identify potential themes to learn more about the important types and considerations of asking strategies for students with special needs. According to the thematic analysis, these teachers employed questions that prioritized two factors: cognitive-based questions and affective-based questions. The study underlines the implications for classroom practice while expanding the understanding of teaching English to special needs students in a bilingual setting.
