×Endah Safitri. X2207051. Improving Students’ Reading Skill through Think
Pair Share (An Action Research in Eighth Grade Students of SMP Negeri 1
Ngadirojo in Academic Year 2010/2011). A Thesis, Surakarta: Teacher Training
and Education Faculty of Sebelas Maret University, 2011.
This research is aimed at: (1) describing whether or not Think Pair Share
can improve students’ reading skill, and (2) identifying the classroom situation
when the Think Pair Share is implemented in the teaching and learning process.
The method used in this research was a collaborative action research with
an English teacher (teacher SL). The research was conducted in two cycles at the
8E grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Ngadirojo from April 16th to June 2nd 2011.
There are two kinds of data: qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data
were collected by using observation, questionnaire, interview, diary, and
document. Then, the quantitative data were collected by using test (pre-test and
post-test). Qualitative data were analyzed by using 5 stages suggested by Burns
(1999: 157- 159) as follows: assembling the data; coding the data; comparing the
data; building interpretation; and reporting the outcomes. The quantitative data
were analyzed by using descriptive statistics.
The research findings show that the use of Think Pair Share could improve
students’ reading skill and classroom situation of English class. The improvement
of students’ reading skill includes: (1) Students are able to identify the main idea
of the text; (2) Students are able to find implicit information of the text; (3)
Students are able to find the explicit information from the text; (4) Students are
able to infer meaning (vocabulary); (5) Students are able to determine references.
Besides, the improvement of students’ reading skill can be seen from the
improvement of the mean score of pre-test, first post-test and second post-test,
that is 46.76, 63.14, and 67.94. The classroom situations also improve. The
improvement of classroom situations include: (1) Almost all students give more
attention to the teacher explanation; (2) Students’ behavior change. They do not
do the useless activity during the lesson; (3) Students are more motivated and give
more response toward the teacher’s instruction; (4) Students are not shy and afraid
to ask if they has difficulty; and (5) They tend to be active students.
Think Pair Share can be applied in teaching learning process. Hopefully,
by implementing Think Pair Share, the students can improve their reading skill.
The researcher hopes that what the researcher has done will inspire the English
teachers to conduct Think Pair Share in their classroom.
