SKRIPSI THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PREDICT, ORGANIZE, SEARCH, SUMMARIZE, EVALUATE (POSSE) AS A LEARNING STRATEGY ON READING COMPREHENSION OF RECOUNT TEXT OF THE EIGHTH GRADERS
Reading is a crucial activity for students to gain knowledge and ideas from
the text. Therefore, appropriate, effective, and exciting learning strategies are
essential to achieve reading goals. Teachers can facilitate teaching and learning by
implementing the POSSE strategy. Proficient readers naturally utilize this approach
to enhance their reading and learning process. By predicting, organizing, searching,
summarizing, and evaluating, students can participate in reading discussions.
The objectives of this study are to know the effectiveness of using the
POSSE strategy to teach students` recount text reading comprehension and to find
out whether there is a significant difference of the students` recount text reading
comprehension who are taught using the POSSE strategy and those who are taught
using the Story Mapping strategy.
A quantitative approach was used in this study, along with a quasi-experimental
design. Two classes were involved in this study. The experimental class was taught
with the POSSE strategy, and the control class was taught with the Story Mapping
strategy. SMPN 3 Muntilan consisted of 219 students in the eighth class. The
sampling techniques used were purposive sampling techniques. Class VIII B was
used as the experimental class, while Class VII G served as the control class. The
writer used a reading comprehension test to collect the data. The SPSS program
27.0 was utilized to analyze the data.
The N-Gain test results showed an average score of 0.3483, which falls
within the medium improvement range of 0.30 to 0.70. This revealed that the
POSSE strategy proved effective in teaching students` recount text. Furthermore,
the Independent Sample T-test revealed that the significance value in this study was
0.001 < 0.05. From the result of this study, the writer concluded that the alternative
hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that there is a statistically significant
difference in reading comprehension among students taught using the POSSE
strategy and students taught using the Story Mapping strategy. As a suggestion in
the future, the strategy may be employed by teachers to boost students` reading
comprehension during classroom lessons.
