Based on test results using a statistical hypothesis test obtained Z hit (7,458)> Z daf (2.35), then thank Hi means that there are significant learning method talk think write to the reading comprehension of folklore in class V SD Negeri 1 Cidempet of Arahan District of Indramayu Regency. The conclusion of this study is the application of learning methods talk think write on the ability of reading comprehension folklore in class V SD Negeri 1 Cidempet of Arahan District of Indramayu Regency. Suggestions in this study is teachers can implement a wide variety of learning methods in the implementation of learning so that students are active in studying and understanding the concepts being taught, and teachers should use teaching methods talk think write to improve reading comprehension folklore.     Keywords: Learning method talk think write, reading comprehension, folklore.

AbstractThis paper discusses the effect of learning method and formative scoring technique implementation on students’ reading comprehension skill by controlling the students’ initial ability. The method used in it is quasi experimental design with 2X2 factorial design. The data are two controlled class and two experimental class of SMPN 3 and SMP IT Raudhatul Jannah in Cilegon City, Banten. Independent variables are learning methods and formative scoring technique, while the dependent one is reading comprehension skill. Learning methods consist of SQ3R and scramble, while the scoring formative techniques are multiple choices and cloze tests. The results show that the SQ3R method is able to determine the students’ in comprehending Indonesian texts using formative tests. Reading learning using the suitable methods  will improve students’ results. SQ3R method is more suitable with the multiple choice tests while scramble method is more suitable with cloze tests. AbstrakPenelititian ini mendiskusikan pengaruh penerapan metode pembelajaran dan teknik penilaian formatif terhadap keterampilan pemahaman membaca dengan mengontrol kemampuan awal siswa. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kuasi eksperimen dengan rancangan faktorial 2 x 2. Data penelitian adalah dua kelas eksperimen dan dua kelas kontrol pada SMP Negeri 3 dan SMP IT Raudhatul Jannah Kota Cilegon, Banten. Variabel independen adalah metode pembelajaran dan teknik penilaian formatif, sedangkan variabel dependen adalah keterampilan pemahaman membaca.Metode pembelajaran terdiri atas SQ3R dan scramble. Teknik penilaian formatif terdiri atas pilihan ganda dan rumpang (cloze). Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa metode SQ3R dapat menentukan kemampuan siswa dalam membaca pemahaman teks bahasa Indonesia dengan jenis tes formatif. Pembelajaran membaca dengan metode yang tepat akan meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa. Ketika metode SQ3R diimplementasikan, jenis tes pilihan ganda lebih baik diberikan kepada siswa, sedangkan jika metode scramble diberikan kepada siswa, jenis tes rumpang lebihsesuai untuk menilai kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa.

The Difference

Purpose Vocabulary intervention can improve comprehension of texts containing taught words, but it is unclear if all middle school readers get this benefit. This study tests 2 hypotheses about variables that predict response to vocabulary treatment on text comprehension: gains in vocabulary knowledge due to treatment and pretreatment reading comprehension scores. Method Students in Grade 6 ( N = 23) completed a 5-session intervention based on robust vocabulary instruction (RVI). Knowledge of the semantics of taught words was measured pre- and posttreatment. Participants then read 2 matched texts, 1 containing taught words (treated) and 1 not (untreated). Treated texts and taught word lists were counterbalanced across participants. The difference between text comprehension scores in treated and untreated conditions was taken as a measure of the effect of RVI on text comprehension. Results RVI resulted in significant gains in knowledge of taught words ( d RM = 2.26) and text comprehension ( d RM = 0.31). The extent of gains in vocabulary knowledge after vocabulary treatment did not predict the effect of RVI on comprehension of texts. However, untreated reading comprehension scores moderated the effect of the vocabulary treatment on text comprehension: Lower reading comprehension was associated with greater gains in text comprehension. Readers with comprehension scores below the mean experienced large gains in comprehension, but those with average/above average reading comprehension scores did not. Conclusion Vocabulary instruction had a larger effect on text comprehension for readers in Grade 6 who had lower untreated reading comprehension scores. In contrast, the amount that children learned about taught vocabulary did not predict the effect of vocabulary instruction on text comprehension. This has implications for the identification of 6th-grade students who would benefit from classroom instruction or clinical intervention targeting vocabulary knowledge.

Main Effects

Single studies suggest that the effectiveness of certain instructional activities depends on teachers' judgment accuracy. However, sufficient empirical data is still lacking. In this longitudinal study (N = 75 teachers and 1,865 students), we assessed if the effectiveness of teacher feedback was moderated by judgment accuracy in a standardized reading program. For the purpose of a discriminant validation, moderating effects of teachers' judgment accuracy on their classroom management skills were examined. As expected, multilevel analyses revealed larger reading comprehension gains when teachers provided students with a high number of feedbacks and simultaneously demonstrated high judgment accuracy. Neither interactions nor main effects were found for classroom management skills on reading comprehension. Moreover, no significant interactions with judgment accuracy but main effects were found for both feedback and classroom management skills concerning reading strategy knowledge gains. The implications of the results are discussed.
