Global Method on Students Reading Comprehension: A Study on Quasi Experimental Design

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of the Global Method on the reading comprehension of students from MTsN 5 Jambi City, a non-equivalent control group quasi-experimental design was employed to gather quantitative data. A cluster random sampling was applied to divide 68 students into experimental and control groups and through concise open-ended inquiries and a pre- and post-test the data was collected. The study revealed that the average post-test score (74.26) is greater than the average pre-test score (49-41). A statistically significant (2-tailed) p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 was obtained from the Wilcoxon test analysis, and it shows that Ha1 was accepted and the rejection of H01. A significant level of less than 0.05 (0.000 < 0.05) is shown by the two-tailed independent sample t-test. The calculated t-value (6.074) is found to be greater than the critical t-value (1.671) for a sample with 66 degrees of freedom. Therefore, the null hypothesis (H02) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha2) is accepted and it can be concluded that students' reading comprehension is enhanced by the Global approach both before and during its use
