I. Introduction
The introduction establishes the context for the study, highlighting the importance of reading skills in English language education in Indonesia. It outlines the primary objective of the research, which is to evaluate the effectiveness of the story mapping technique in enhancing students' reading abilities specifically for narrative texts. It also identifies the challenges faced by students in reading comprehension, such as lack of motivation and ineffective teaching methods. This section sets the foundation for understanding the significance of using innovative techniques like story mapping in the educational landscape.
II. Theoretical Framework
This section provides a comprehensive overview of the theories underpinning reading and narrative text comprehension. It discusses various aspects such as the definition of reading, types of reading (intensive and extensive), and the models of reading (bottom-up, top-down, and interactive). Furthermore, it outlines the principles and techniques of reading that are essential for effective comprehension. The significance of understanding narrative text is also emphasized, as it plays a crucial role in students' overall language acquisition and literacy development.
2.1 Theory of Reading
The theory of reading encompasses definitions, purposes, and models that guide the understanding of how reading functions. It emphasizes the interactive nature of reading, where readers actively engage with texts to derive meaning. This section underlines the importance of teaching reading as a skill that requires strategic approaches to enhance comprehension and retention.
2.2 Narrative Text
Narrative text is defined as a form of storytelling that conveys sequences of events. This subsection elaborates on the characteristics of narrative texts, including their structure and language features. Understanding narrative text is vital for students as it fosters creativity, critical thinking, and cultural awareness through storytelling.
2.3 Story Mapping Technique
The story mapping technique is introduced as a visual strategy that aids comprehension by organizing story elements. This subsection discusses its definition, purposes, and the steps involved in implementing this technique. By using story maps, students can better visualize and understand the relationships between different components of a narrative, enhancing their reading skills.
III. Research Methodology
This section outlines the research design, methodology, and data collection techniques employed in the study. A quasi-experimental design was utilized, involving pretests and posttests to measure the effectiveness of the story mapping technique on reading comprehension among tenth-grade students. The sample consisted of 70 students from SMA N 4 Tangerang Selatan, and various statistical analyses were conducted to assess the results. This methodology ensures that the findings are reliable and valid, providing a solid basis for drawing conclusions.
IV. Research Findings
The research findings reveal significant improvements in students' reading abilities after the implementation of the story mapping technique. The data analysis indicates that the experimental group, which utilized story mapping, outperformed the control group in posttest scores. This section discusses the statistical significance of the results, reinforcing the hypothesis that story mapping is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing narrative text comprehension among students.
4.1 Data Description
This subsection provides a detailed description of the data collected, including pretest and posttest scores of both the experimental and control groups. It highlights the initial reading abilities of the students and the subsequent improvements observed after the intervention, illustrating the impact of story mapping on their learning outcomes.
4.2 Data Analysis
The data analysis section employs statistical methods to evaluate the results of the study. It discusses the t-test results, demonstrating the statistical significance of the differences in reading scores between the two groups. This analysis supports the conclusion that story mapping effectively enhances reading comprehension.
V. Conclusion and Suggestions
The conclusion summarizes the key findings of the study, affirming that the story mapping technique significantly improves students' reading abilities in narrative texts. It emphasizes the importance of incorporating innovative teaching strategies in the classroom to foster better comprehension skills among students. Additionally, suggestions for future research and practical applications for educators are provided, encouraging further exploration of effective reading strategies.
5.1 Conclusion
The study concludes that the story mapping technique is an effective method for enhancing students' reading comprehension of narrative texts. The significant improvements observed in the experimental group highlight the potential of this strategy to address common reading difficulties faced by students.
5.2 Suggestions
Suggestions for educators include integrating story mapping into regular reading instruction and providing training for teachers on how to effectively implement this technique. Future research could explore the application of story mapping in different text genres and educational contexts to further validate its effectiveness.
