SKRIPSI THE IMPACT OF CHARADES GAME-BASED LEARNING ON THE 7TH GRADERS' READING COMPREHENSION OF DESCRIPTIVE TEXTS AT SMP N 10 MAGELANG

---

Understanding the difficulties students face in reading comprehension is essential for improving learning outcomes. Classroom observations and prior research revealed that many seventh graders at SMPN 10 Magelang struggled with descriptive texts, with 65% scoring below the passing grade. Conventional strategies such as lectures and text-based learning strategies dominated instruction, resulting in low engagement. Students also found it difficult to visualize sensory details in descriptive texts, while interactive strategies like game-based learning were rarely used. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of Charades as a game-based learning strategy to enhance students' reading comprehension of descriptive texts. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was employed. Two intact classes were selected: Class VII A as the control group and Class VII D as the experimental group. The experimental class was taught using Charades, while the control class relied on conventional strategies like text-based and teachercentered strategies. Both groups were given pre-tests and post-tests, and the data were analyzed using N-Gain and an Independent Samples T-Test. The study results revealed that students in the experimental group scored higher on average than those in the control group. The experimental group's posttest mean was 84.69, whereas the control's was 78.28. An Independent Samples TTest showed a significant difference (p < 0.05), and N-Gain analysis confirmed that Charades was more effective than traditional methods. Additionally, students learning with Charades showed increased engagement and enthusiasm throughout the lessons. In conclusion, the use of Charades was proven to be more effective than text-based instruction in improving reading comprehension of descriptive texts. This study recommends that teachers incorporate Charades as an alternative teaching strategy and that future research explore its application to different text types, skills, and grade levels.
