Abstract


Abstract- This study aimed to identify differences in students' reading skills through the application of herringbone and story mapping methods on narrative text. This type of research is quantitative with a quasi-experimental design. The population of this study was all grade VIII students at SMP Negeri 1 Rengel, with samples determined through purposive sampling; class VIII-A received treatment using the herringbone technique, while class VIII-C used the story mapping technique. In this study, data were collected through tests consisting of a pre-test and post-test, which were then analyzed by an independent t-test.  The findings showed a tcount was 9.745 and the ttable was 1.999. This indicates that the tcount is greater than the ttable, or 9.745 > 1.999 at a significance level of 0.05 (two-tailed), so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a significant difference in students' reading comprehension of narrative texts through the application of herringbone and story mapping techniques.

Abstrak- Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi perbedaan dalam keterampilan membaca siswa melalui penerapan metode herringbone dan story mapping pada teks naratif. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan quasi-experimental. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII di SMP Negeri 1 Rengel, dengan sampel yang ditentukan melalui purposive sampling; kelas VIII-A menerima perlakuan menggunakan teknik herringbone, sementara kelas VIII-C menggunakan teknik story mapping. Dalam studi ini, data diambil melalui tes yang terdiri dari pre-test dan post-test, yang selanjutnya dianalisis dengan independent t-test. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan nilai thitung sebesar 9.745 dan ttabel sebesar 1.999. Hal ini mengindikasikan bahwa thitung lebih besar daripada ttabel, yaitu 9.745 lebih besar dari 1.999 pada tingkat signifikansi 0,05 (uji dua arah), sehingga hipotesis alternatif diterima dan hipotesis nol ditolak. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan signifikan dalam pemahaman membaca siswa pada teks naratif melalui penerapan teknik herringbone dan story mapping.
