PENGARUH STRATEGI PQ4R (Preview, Question, Read, Reflect, Recite, Review) TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN MEMBACA PEMAHAMAN TEKS NONFIKSI

Abstract

The ability to read is very important for students because reading is a thinking process to understand the content of the reading text. The problem in this research is the low reading comprehension ability of students and the lack of students' reading skills at SDN Cijambu 1, Tanjungsari District, Sumedang Regency. This research aims to determine the influence of the learning process and learning outcomes using the PQ4R strategy. The PQ4R strategy is a strategy that aims to help students so that students can move new information from short-term memory to long-term memory. The instruments used are lesson plans, student test sheets and observations. This research method uses a quasi-experimental method with a quantitative approach. The design used in this research is one-group pretest posttest. The data collection technique in this research is a test technique consisting of a pretest and posttest. The sample in this study was all class V students at SDN Cijambu 1, totaling 25 students. Based on the research results, the learning process using the PQ4R strategy runs smoothly. This is proven by the results of statistical calculations of the normality test using the Liliefors test in the pretest, obtaining a value of Lcount 0.125 < Ltable 0.173, so H1 is accepted and H0 is rejected. Meanwhile, in the posttest, the value of Lcount was 0.137 < Ltable 0.173, so H1 was accepted, H0 was rejected. Based on the results of the t test calculation, the value of Tcount is 16.45 > Ttable 1.1711, so H1 is accepted, H0 is rejected. Thus the hypothesis proposed in this study is accepted. So it can be concluded that the PQ4R strategy has a big influence on students' reading comprehension skills in non-fiction text material in class V of SDN Cijambu 1, Tanjungsari District, Sumedang Regency, academic year 2022/2023.
