The purpose of this study was to determine the description of the application of the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) learning model in learning Indonesian, to determine the description of students' reading comprehension skills in learning Indonesian and to determine the effect of the application of the CIRC learning model on students' reading comprehension skills in the Indonesian language subject of grade V elementary school students. This study uses a quantitative approach. The method used in this study is the Quasi Experimental Design approach. The population in this study were all students of grade V UPT SPF SD Negeri Kassi, Manggala District, Makassar City and the research sample was class V A as an experimental class totaling 20 students and class V B as a control class totaling 20 students. The sampling technique was the saturated sample technique. The instruments used were non-tests (observation sheets) and written tests (pretest and posttest) totaling 10 questions (fill-ins). The results of the statistical analysis showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental group and the control group in terms of reading comprehension ability, which means that the application of the CIRC model has a positive effect. This model has also been proven to be well implemented, as seen from the increase in the observation result category from "good" to "very good". The pretest scores of both groups were in the less category, but the posttest scores of the experimental group reached the good category, while the control group remained in the sufficient category. So it can be concluded that there is an effect of the application of the CIRC learning model on the reading comprehension ability of class V students of UPT SPF SD Negeri Kassi, Manggala District, Makassar City.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the literacy levels of fourth-grade students at Inpres Perumnas Antang III Elementary School in solving story problems and to identify the supporting and inhibiting factors. The research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with 29 students and 1 teacher, as well as document studies. The results show that the literacy levels of students are divided into three categories: low literacy (Students have difficulty understanding explicit information in the text and relating it to simple contexts.), moderate literacy (Students are able to understand explicit information and some implicit information in the text, but are not yet consistent in summarizing or evaluating the content.), and high literacy (Students are able to analyze complex texts, evaluate implicit information, and critically reflect on moral messages). The main inhibiting factors include conventional teaching methods, a lack of practice with story problems, and The learning environment is less interactive. Meanwhile, supportive factors include the School Literacy Movement (GLS) program, the use of visual media, and support from teachers and parents. This research recommends the implementation of differentiated learning approaches, strengthening metacognitive strategies, and optimizing the learning environment to improve student literacy. These findings serve as a basis for the development of education policies and learning practices that focus on student needs.
