The Effect of Mall Strategy Integrated with Padlet Towards Students’ Reading Comprehension

Abstract

<jats:p>The research aimed at investigating the significant difference on students’ reading comprehension between students taught using Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) strategy integrated with Padlet and students taught using conventional teaching strategy. This research was quasi-experimental utilizing post-test only control group design. The population of this research was tenth-grade students in SMA Negeri 4 Singaraja. The sample of this research were 73 students consisting of 35 students from X BB 1 as experimental group and 38 students from BB 2 as control group. The sample were chosen using cluster random sampling technique. The data collection in both groups were done through post-test. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. The result of descriptive statistics analysis reveals that the mean score for experimental group is higher than control group (78.03 &gt; 73.39). Furthermore, the result of inferential statistics analysis through t-test shows that the significant value of tobserve is higher than tcritical value, which is 2.270 &gt; 1.666 (df = 71, α = 0.05). Thus, it indicates that there is a significant difference on students’ reading comprehension between students taught using Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) strategy integrated with Padlet and students taught using conventional teaching strategy.</jats:p>

Students’ reading comprehension using mall strategy through Padlet in High School students

“…On the contrary, the present results coincide with most of the previously identified investigations. Thus, the studies by (Khubyari & Narafshan, 2016) in the English context; that of (Helwa, 2017) in the Egyptian context; those of (Priyanti et al 2019), (Prastya, 2019), and (Juniarta et al 2020) in Indonesian schools; and those of (Imtiaz et al 2017), (Naderi & Akram, 2018, (Keezhatta & Omar, 2019) in the Arab educational field, found a significant association between the application of MALL and reading comprehension. Therefore, this research is incorporated into the extensive scientific literature that has ratified this correlation and that has been analyzed in systematic reviews of the literature by authors such as (Lin et al 2020), (Ekinci, 2020), and (Peng et al 2021).…”

“…In turn, the fact that the research has had the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of the use of MALL (integrated with Padlet) in the reading comprehension of a group of secondary students gives it an original character; because the bibliographic review allowed us to identify only one study close to the subject: (Prastya, 2019), and its quasiexperimental study with 73 students from Singaraja, Indonesia, who were divided into an experimental group (who received classes through of MALL integrated with Padlet) and a control group (students who were taught using the conventional strategy). Regarding the inferential results of the present study which showed that the applied technology had a positive correlation with the general results and with the reading comprehension of the English language, it is verified that these differ only from the study by (Dharmayanti, 2021), which showed that there was no significant effect of the application of MALL in improving the literacy skills of a group of Indonesian students.…”

“…Finally, (Prastya, 2019) developed a quasi-experimental study with 73 students from Singaraja, Indonesia, who were divided into an experimental group (who received classes through MALL integrated with Padlet) and a control group (students who were taught using the conventional strategy). The descriptive results reveal that the mean score of the experimental group is higher than that of the control group (78.03 > 73.39), while the inferential statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in reading comprehension between both groups, favoring the experimental group.…”

A Systematic Review: The Implementation of MALL toward Students’ Reading Skill

“…Many researchers have found out that MALL can increase students' participation and interaction in the English language learning process. There are studies revealed students' participation increased by the use of MALL in the learning process (P. Dewi, 2021;Prastya, 2019;Sasmiadi et al, 2019). Also, others studies conducted found out MALL had positively influence students' interaction (Keezhatta & Omar, 2019;Sasmiadi et al, 2019).…”

“…Zainuddin (2020) found Padlet beneficial for augmenting student engagement. Likewise, Padlet enhanced critical reading skills in higher education (Prastya, 2019) The role of educators in technology integration is crucial. Herrington and Kervin (2007) argued for purposeful technology integration in education, seeing it as a cognitive tool that engages students in authentic learning experiences.…”
