Peran Persepsi Siswa terhadap Instruksi Langsung dan Umpan Balik yang diberikan Guru terhadap Kesenangan Siswa dalam Membaca

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat apakah ada pengaruh antara kesenangan siswa dalam membaca dengan instruksi langsung yang diberikan guru dan umpan balik yang dirasakan siswa. Subjek penelitian adalah 12.098 siswa Indonesia yang berusia 15 tahun yang datanya diperoleh berdasarkan data PISA tahun 2018. Analisa menggunakan multilevel modeling. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa kesenangan membaca siswa berbeda-beda pada tiap sekolah, namun perbedaan kesenangan membaca yang berkaitan dengan peran sekolah sekolah sebesar 8,7 %. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa faktor individu lebih berperan dalam membuat siswa senang belajar. Kemudian, setelah menambahkan faktor guru, dalam hal ini persepsi siswa terhadap instruksi yang diberikan guru dan persepsi terhadap feedback yang diberikan guru, menunjukkan hasil bahwa kedua variabel tersebut berperan dalam menentukan kesenangan membaca siswa. Saat memasukkan variabel instruksi yang diberikan guru dan persepsi terhadap feedback yang diberikan guru maka peran sekolah semakin kecil menjadi hanya 4,4%. Kedua model ini menunjukkan bahwa kesenangan membaca lebih disebabkan oleh faktor siswa (student level) daripada faktor sekolah (school level)

IMPLEMENTASI MEDIA DIGITAL INTERAKTIF BERBASIS CANVA UNTUK MENINGKATKAN PEMAHAMAN TEKS NARASI SISWA KELAS III SEKOLAH DASAR KRISTEN HARMONI

This research aims to develop and implement an interactive digital media based on Canva to improve the narrative text comprehension of third-grade elementary school students. The background of this study is the lack of interactive media used in Indonesian language learning, which makes students less motivated and causes difficulties in understanding narrative texts. This research used the Research and Development (R&amp;D) method with the ADDIE model, including Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation stages. The product developed is an interactive media integrating images, animations, narration, and interactive exercises. The media was validated by material, media, and language experts and tested on 20 students at SDK Harmoni Kupang. Data collection techniques included observation, questionnaires, and pretest-posttest. The results showed a significant increase in students' understanding of narrative text. The average pretest score was 59, while the posttest average rose to 82.5, with an N-Gain score of 0.57 (moderate category). Statistical analysis indicated that the data were normally distributed and homogeneous, and there was a significant linear relationship between media use and learning outcomes. The media not only improved students' comprehension of narrative texts but also increased learning motivation, collaboration, and critical thinking skills
