× The objective of this thesis is to improve the students’ reading
comprehension through jigsaw technique and to describe what happens when
jigsaw technique is applied in the teaching learning process. The problem revealed
before this research was the low reading comprehension of the eighth year
students of SMP MTA Gemolong. The indicators of the problems are: the
students had difficulties in comprehending an English text, they needed a lot of
time to understand it, their vocabulary was low, they faced difficulties in finding
information from the text, and the students had difficulties in answering questions
following the text.
The subject of the study is the students of class 8 A of SMP MTA IBS
Gemolong in the academic year of 2010/2011. The action research was conducted
in two cycles. Each cycle consists of four steps: planning, action, observing and
reflection. In collecting the data, the researcher used qualitative and quantitative
method. In qualitative method, the researcher used observational and non-
observational techniques. The observational techniques consist of observations,
field notes, and photographs, while non-observational techniques consist of
interviews and document. In quantitative method, the data were gotten from the
test. The tests were pre-test and post tests. To analyze the qualitative data, the
researcher analyzed the improvement of teaching learning process by using the
steps namely; assembling the data, coding the data, comparing the data, building
interpretation, and reporting outcome. The technique of analyzing the quantitative
data was a descriptive statistics and non-independent t-test. The researcher
analyzed the mean scores of the tests. The improvement of students’ reading
comprehension was indicated by the score of the post-test which was higher than
the score of the pre-test. The significance of the improvement of the students’
reading comprehension is measured by using t-test
Having analyzed the data, the researcher found two improvements. The first
is the improvement of the students’ reading comprehension. The mean score of
the pre-test was 5.7 and it increased to 6.4 in the post-test 1 and it also increased
to 7.5 in the post-test 2. It showed that there was significant improvement of
students’ reading comprehension. The second is the improvement of the class
situation. The researcher found that jigsaw could improve the students’ interest in
reading. During the instructional process, the teaching and learning process had
not been dominated by the teacher but also involved the students, so the class
became more alive. Jigsaw also improved students’ social developments.
Based on the research finding above, the researcher suggests that English
teachers should enhance their ability in teaching and to establish a good atmosphere in the class. Meanwhile, the students need to be more involved to all
activities in learning process
