ENHANCING NARRATIVE READING SKILLS USING PQRST WITH SHORT VIDEOS AND PICTURES

The purpose of this study was to compare the ability to read narrative texts between students taught using the integrated PQRST method with STAD assisted by short videos and pictures series, and to describe students' perceptions of the use of the two different methods. The research method used in this study is a quasi-experimental study. This study will be conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Tahunan Jepara Regency, Central Java. The subjects of the study were students of class 9B as the experimental class and class 9C as the control class. Data collection used tests and questionnaires. Data analysis used descriptive analysis and independent sample t-test. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the ability to read narrative texts of students taught using the PQRST method oriented to the STAD model assisted by short videos is better than students taught using the PQRST method oriented to the STAD model assisted by pictures series. These results indicate that the PQRST method oriented to the STAD model assisted by short videos is effective in improving students' ability to read narrative texts. The use of the PQRST method oriented to the STAD model assisted by short videos is a combination of several learning models that have been proven to improve the ability to read narrative texts. For further research, further, more creative development is needed regarding the provision of short videos and detailed images.
