Comparison of Using Audiovisual Media and Textbook Media In Improving Students Reading Comprehension
Abstract
Absract—This study investigates the comparative effectiveness of audiovisual media and traditional textbook-based instruction in enhancing students’ reading comprehension. The main objective is to determine whether audiovisual media leads to a more significant improvement in students’ understanding of English texts. A quantitative experimental research design was employed involving 60 eighth-grade students from SMP Ar-Rahmat, who were equally divided into a control group (textbook-based instruction) and an experimental group (audiovisual media-based instruction). Both groups were given pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in reading comprehension. The findings revealed that the experimental group using audiovisual media showed a 40.32% increase in their reading comprehension scores, while the control group using textbooks showed only a 30% increase. This 10.32% difference highlights the greater effectiveness of audiovisual media in supporting reading comprehension. The use of audiovisual content not only facilitated better understanding of the material but also increased student engagement and motivation during the learning process. These results suggest that audiovisual media can be a powerful instructional tool and a more effective alternative to textbooks in English language learning, especially for developing reading comprehension at the secondary school level.

Absrak—Penelitian ini mengkaji efektivitas media audiovisual dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran berbasis buku teks tradisional dalam meningkatkan kemampuan membaca pemahaman siswa. Tujuan utama dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah media audiovisual memberikan peningkatan yang lebih signifikan terhadap pemahaman teks berbahasa Inggris. Desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah eksperimen kuantitatif dengan melibatkan 60 siswa kelas VIII SMP Ar-Rahmat yang dibagi secara merata ke dalam dua kelompok: kelompok kontrol (menggunakan buku teks) dan kelompok eksperimen (menggunakan media audiovisual). Kedua kelompok diberikan pre-test dan post-test untuk mengukur perkembangan kemampuan membaca pemahaman mereka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kelompok yang menggunakan media audiovisual mengalami peningkatan skor sebesar 40,32%, sedangkan kelompok yang menggunakan buku teks hanya mengalami peningkatan sebesar 30%. Perbedaan sebesar 10,32% ini menunjukkan bahwa media audiovisual lebih efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman bacaan siswa. Selain itu, penggunaan media audiovisual juga meningkatkan keterlibatan dan motivasi siswa selama proses pembelajaran. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa media audiovisual dapat menjadi alat pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan menarik dibandingkan buku teks dalam pembelajaran bahasa Inggris, khususnya dalam keterampilan membaca pemahaman di jenjang sekolah menengah pertama.
