THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EXTENSIVE READING APPROACH TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION

This research entitled the effectiveness of extensive reading approach has a purpose to figure out the effectiveness of extensive reading approach to improve students’ reading comprehension. The subject of this research is students of SMK Al-Irsyad Cipanas. The sample of this research consists 20 of the eleventh grade students of AP class. The research uses quantitative research, or more specifically the one group pre-test post-test design as research design. To collect the data, this research applies pre-test and post-test as the instrument. The result of data is obtained by using t-test formula.  The result showed that students who learning using extensive reading approach had better reading ability to comprehend the text. The result of tobs is 2.08, the ttable with degrees of freedom (df) 19 and level of significance at 0.05 was 1,72. Based on the data analysis, the alternative hypothesis in this research was accepted because tobs is higher than ttable (2.08 > 1.72). Based on the data analysis, it is found that the test is reliable. The findings indicated that learning using extensive reading approach is significantly affected the students’ reading comprehension.

Mindful Parenting and Anxiety in Full-time Working Mothers

Full-time working mothers face numerous challenges that can lead to anxiety. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between mindful parenting and anxiety among full-time working mothers. The participants in this study consisted of 99 mothers engaged in full-time employment. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling. Data were collected using the Mindful Parenting Scale and the Anxiety Scale from the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS). Data were analyzed using product-moment correlation analysis. The results of the data analysis showed a correlation (rxy) = -0.210 with p < 0.050. This result indicates a negative correlation between mindful parenting and anxiety among full-time working mothers, meaning that higher level of mindful parenting is associated with lower level of anxiety. Conversely, lower level of mindful parenting is associated with higher level of anxiety. Therefore, it is recommended to provide intervention to enhance mindful parenting among working mothers to help reduce their anxiety. Ibu yang bekerja penuh waktu mengalami banyak tantangan yang dapat menyebabkan kecemasan.

Teknik sampling yang digunakan yaitu convenience sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan skala mindful parenting dan skala kecemasan dari Depression, Anxiety, and Stres Scale (DASS). Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis korelasi product moment. Hasil analisis data menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi (rxy) = -0,210 dengan p < 0,050. Hasil ini mengindikasikan adanya korelasi negatif antara mindful parenting dan kecemasan pada ibu yang bekerja penuh waktu, artinya semakin tinggi mindful parenting maka semakin rendah kecemasan. Sebaliknya, semakin rendah mindful parenting maka semakin tinggi kecemasan.
