×The objectives of this research are firstly, describing how the use of smallgroup
discussion can improve the reading comprehension of the ninth grade
students of SMP Negeri 1 Wuryantoro . Secondly, describing the strengths and the
weaknesses of using small-group discussion in teaching reading comprehension in
the ninth grade students of SMP Negeri 1 Wuryantoro.
In this action research, the writer is as the teacher in teaching and learning
process. Meanwhile, the English teacher is as the observer/collaborator. The
research was conducted in two cycles at the IXB grade students of SMP Negeri 1
Wuryantoro. Each cycle consisted of four steps: planning, action, observation, and
reflection. There are two kinds of data: qualitative and quantitative data. The
qualitative data were collected by using observation, questionnaire, interview, field
notes, and document. Then, the quantitative data were collected by using test (pretest
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 SGD could improve students’
reading comprehension. The improvement of students’ reading comprehension
includes: (1) Students are able to identify the main idea of the text; (2) Students
are able to find specific information of the text; (3) Students are able to find the
meaning of unknown word of the text; (4) Students are able to locate references;
(5) Students are able to mention the social function/generic structure of text. In
addition, SGD can be used to improve the class situation. The improvement of
class situations include: (1) The students are active participant in teaching-learning
process; (2) The students feel motivated and confident joining reading class by
grouping; and (3) The students feel comfortable, interesting, and more relaxing
during TL process.
In the implementation of SGD, to arrange an effective discussion, the small
group discussion session is divided into three parts: (1) Pre-discussion activities, in
this phase, the researcher gives information about the technique, procedure, and the
steps of discussion. She also guides students by showing the students how to use
reading strategies; (2) During-discussions activities, the students read the text and
discuss the questions with their group, write and present the result of discussion in
their own group first and the other group in front of the class, while other member
of groups may give comment and clarify. The researcher also guides the students
and corrects the wrong answer. (3) Post discussion activities, in this phase, the
researcher asks the students to submit their groups’ work. She gives reinforcement
and feedback to their work.
