PEER ASSISTED LEARNING STRATEGIES (PALS) IN NARRATIVE TEXT READING COMPREHENSION USING EDMODO LEARNING PLATFORMS (A CASE STUDY AT A SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL IN CIAMIS)

Abstract

The researcher found a lack of students'' ability to read narrative texts individually, therefore the researchers tried to use PALS in reading narrative texts using the Edmodo application. It is hoped that this research can help teachers and students in using learning media for learning to read, so that students can be more confident in discussing in reading lessons, and can improve their reading skills and make it easier for teachers to teach reading comprehension. This chapter has reviewed a brief description of the methodologies that underpin this study, including study design, participants, research sites, data collection, research procedures, data analysis, and ethical considerations. The following chapter discusses the data analysis and record from each research instrument. The discussion in this chapter has discovered several related points that provide the answers to the research questions. The finding was based upon the from observations and questionnaires. The analysis of how the teacher implements PALS in teaching reading of narrative text using Edmodo, students respond and on it. In the sense, the final conclusions will be presented in the forthcoming chapter together with some suggestions for further research. This study used Edmodo to investigate the use of PALS in narrative text reading. In accordance with the study, three instruments were developed to collect data on how the teacher implements PALS in narrative text reading using Edmodo and how students respond to the implementation of PALS in narrative text reading using Edmodo. Furthermore, the study’s conclusions would be explained one by one based on the research questions.
