Abstract

DRTA is a reading comprehension strategy for students, especially narrative texts. Balajthy (2003) in his book says Russell Stauffer in 1975 developed the directed reading thinking activity (DRTA) as a more attractive alternative to the course outline model used in most basic guided reading courses.  The DRTA strategy was advanced to encourage active reading comprehension and move the student to assume critically to understand the text. The design of a quasi-experimental with a design non-equivalent control class was employed since this investigates the efficacy of using the DRTA strategy for improving students’ reading comprehension of the narrative text. The observation, test, and documentation were collected in this study. The question test consisted of 20 items using pretest-posttest, in the VIIIA class, which included 22 female students were used as an experimental class, and the VIIIB class, which included 14 male students was used as the control class. An independent sample t-test was used to analyze the evidence to find out whether the DRTA strategy improved the students’ reading comprehension.  The result showed that the T-test value was 4,698 with probably Sig two-sided 0,001, the score Sig two-sided 0,001 < 0,05. The experimental class that received the DRTA strategy differs significantly from the control class that did not receive treatment. As a result, it will draw a conclusion that the DRTA strategy is effective for the education and studying of the activity of eight grade students at the MTS Miftahul Jannah.

Abstract

The majority of learning and teaching activities during the COVID-19 era were distributed to remote learners. The ineffectiveness of face-to-face instruction was subsequently put aside as students felt comfortable learning online. Policymakers in the education system had to adjust to a new normal or habit once the COVID-19 cases started to decline. The aim of this research is to identify the challenges faced by final year students in completing thesis during the Post-Covid-19 New Normal Habitus period and to find out how final year students can complete their thesis guidance during the Post-Covid-19 New Normal Habitus period. There were 15 English students joining the interview and the research was conducted within the State Islamic campus in Jambi City. Coding system was implemented to get credible data. The result shows that Completing studies in the New Normal Era has several obstacles. One of the most significant problems is the communication problem between students and supervisors which involves internal and external factors. Internal factors focus on difficulties caused by students' lack of understanding of thesis components, references and citation styles. Meanwhile, external factors focus on students' difficulties in the thesis writing process which depends on the direction of the supervisor, where some lecturers still provide online thesis guidance, where students agree that online counseling is not effective.
