PENERAPAN METODE SAS (STRUKTURAL ANALITIK SINTETIK) UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KETERAMPILAN MEMBACA SISWA KELAS RENDAH DI SEKOLAH SASAR

Abstract

Reading is an activity to get meaning or information from a reading. Therefore, reading is a very important thing to learn. But based on the observations of researchers at 016 Marsawa State Elementary School, researchers still found students whose reading abilities were lacking. The purpose of this study is to improve students' reading skills by applying synthetic analytic structural methods (SAS). This study uses classroom action research consisting of two cycles. each cycle consists of 1) planning, 3) implementation, 4) observation, and 5) reflection. The results showed, on the base score, 13 students completed with a percentage of 46.4% while students who did not complete as many as 15 with a percentage of 53.6% with the category of incomplete. In the first cycle, students who completed completed increased to 21 with a percentage of 75%, while students who did not complete as many as 7 people with a percentage of 25% with a complete category. In the second cycle, students who completed again increased to 25 with a percentage of 89.2%, while those who did not complete reduced to 3 people with a percentage of 10.8% complete category. Viewed from the results of students' reading skills; the basic score with an average of 60.07 then increased with an average number of 72.80 in cycle I. In cycle II an increase occurred with an average of 87.25. The increase in reading skills in the basic score to the first cycle was 12.73% while the increase in reading skills of students in the first cycle to the second cycle was 14.45%. From these results it can be concluded that the application of structural analytic synthetic (SAS) methods can improve the reading skills of low grade students in primary schools.
