a study of know-want learned (kwl) strategy on the ability of the first year students of sman 15 pekanbaru in comprehending narrative
This study aims to explore students' perceptions of the Know-Want to Know-
Learned (KWL) strategy in comprehending narrative texts among first-year students at
SMA N 15 Pekanbaru. This research addresses common challenges that students face in
comprehending English texts, particularly narrative texts, such as limited vocabulary, lack
of background knowledge, and low engagement. The KWL strategy offers a structured
approach that activates prior knowledge, stimulates curiosity, and reinforces learning
outcomes through reflection.
The study employed a descriptive quantitative research design with a sample of 39 students
selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using a 20-item Likertscale
questionnaire focusing on six indicators. The results showed that students responded
positively to the KWL strategy, with mean scores ranging from 4.02 to 4.56, indicating a
"Strongly Agree" response on the Likert scale. The highest scores were observed in the
areas of story content (M = 4.50) and reading interest (M = 4.46), suggesting
understanding and enjoyment of the reading process. The findings indicate that the KWL
strategy effectively supports students in comprehending narrative texts by facilitating
connections between prior knowledge, setting learning goals, and reflecting on new
information.
