Pengaruh Metode SQ3R Terhadap Keterampilan Membaca Pemahaman Siswa Kelas 4 SD Gema Kasih Yobel, Kupang

Abstract

Reading is an important activity to access information. The frequently heard phrase, "reading is a window to the world," emphasizes the importance of reading to understand the world. Therefore, reading skills are essential, and the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review) method is one of the potentially useful options. At the elementary school level, the usage method of SQ3R is still limited, especially for fourth grade students at Gema Kasih Jubilee Elementary School, Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur. This research aimed to determine the effect of implementing the SQ3R method on their reading comprehension skills in Indonesian subjects using the quasi-experimental research category (Quasi-Experimental) with an Equivalent Control Group design. Written test was administered for data collection. The normality and homogeneity test were run prior to Mann-Whitney test of the hypothesis. The results of research data processing show that Asymp.sig.(2-tailed) 0.02 is smaller than 0.05. Refer to this evidence, it favors the alternative hypothesis (H_a) that stated the SQ3R method has an effect on the reading comprehension skills in Indonesian subjects of fourth grade students at Gema Kasih Yobel Elementary School, Kupang.
