The Effect of Discovery Learning in Improving SMAN 2 Tambang First-Year Students' Reading Comprehension at Recount Text
This study emphasizes the importance of reading comprehension skills
taught to first-year students at SMAN 2 Tambang. Understanding text genres is
crucial. The research aims to enhance reading comprehension and text analysis
skills through the Discovery Learning method. A quantitative approach was used,
with data collected numerically and analyzed using SPSS. A quasi-experimental
design was implemented over six sessions (one month and two weeks), involving
experimental and control groups of Class X students. Both groups took pre-tests
and post-tests to assess their performance before and after the treatment. The
experimental group received Discovery Learning in recount texts. The results
showed an improvement in the scores of the experimental group. Pre-test scores
ranged from 52.8 to 95.7 with an average of 72.17, while post-test scores ranged
from 72.6 to 95.7 with an average of 82.17. The control group's pre-test scores
ranged from 29.7 to 100 with an average of 63.16, and post-test scores ranged from
52.8 to 100 with an average of 70.87. The average post-test score of the
experimental group was higher than that of the control group (82.17 vs 70.87).
These findings indicate that Discovery Learning significantly improves English
reading comprehension in recount texts at SMAN 2 Tambang.
