The Use of Picture-Kwl Technique in Improving Students’ Reading Comprehension: A Cooperative Learning Approach

Abstract

The objective of this research was to find out whether the use of Picture-KWL technique in improving students’ reading comprehension: a cooperative learning approach could improve the reading comprehension and the interest of the students in reading. The design of this research is quasi experimental which the experimental group would be employed treatment Picture-KWL in cooperative learning approach while the control group would be employed treatment using conventional techniques by the researcher. The findings indicated that the experimental class scored higher on the reading comprehension in post-test than their peers did in the control class. The researcher concluded that the technique was successful in improving the reading comprehension performance and recommended that the technique should be integrated into the English Syllabus specially in teaching reading comprehension. Moreover, based on the students’ respond on questionnaire, it shows that the students’ interest was categorized as interested. And also observation showed that the students’ progress were excellent in the classroom during learning progress.

A Study on the Construction of Emotion Recognition Based on Multimodal Information Fusion in English Learning Cooperative and Competitive Mode

“…The first two parts focus on the representation of educational situations and problems, which is the key step of formal modeling; the latter two parts focus on the realization of the specific technical routes, which is the embodiment of the specific process and function of intelligent computing (Emerson et al, 2018 ). Based on the perception and storage of teaching and learning behavior, the whole system determines the output of the model by constructing the evaluation model; then, it introduces an intelligent algorithm to calculate the model to achieve the evaluation of teaching and learning status; finally, according to the corresponding teaching principles, it automatically generates the information to assist teachers in classroom teaching evaluation (Mustafa, 2018 ). The further improvement of the general architecture, human-computer collaborative teaching, and evaluation mechanism requires researchers to work with teachers to “design together.” And activities are often complex and difficult, so group cooperation to solve problems and jointly create learning products are common ways (Vellayan et al, 2020 ).…”

A Analyzing the Level of the Students’ Readingcomprehension in Comprehending Narrativetext

“…The students are expected to have skills of the English language such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, and other elements of language that must be taught to the students through the chosen themes.Among the four skills above, reading get greater attention than three others because reading is a flexible for the students, because they can get information from the text they have read. Reading is one of the important aspects in learning English, which is applied in elementary levels until university levels of education (Mustafa, 2018) (Nell K. Duke, 2017).…”
