Abstract
There are various types of reading, one of which is reading
comprehension. Reading comprehension is a silent reading activity that is carried
out for learning purposes so as to gain broader insight about something that has
been read. Based on the results of observations, it shows that the ability of 7th
grade students of Islamic Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School in
reading comprehension is still low. This is evident from the results of students'
reading comprehension, which is 60.61% of the 33 students who have not been
able to reach the KKM that has been set, which is 70. The cause of the problem of
learning reading comprehension for grade 7 is that the teacher has not used
appropriate reading learning techniques. This study aims to describe the
application of scanning techniques to improve reading comprehension skills,
students' reading comprehension learning outcomes, the obstacles that occur
during reading comprehension learning how to overcome them. This study used a
classroom action research design, which was carried out in 2 cycles. The subjects
of this study were teachers and students of Islamic Junior High School Annadzir
Boarding School . The data collection technique used is interviews. The data
analysis technique used descriptive qualitative and quantitative. The results
showed that the implementation of teacher activities during the implementation of
the learning cycle I and cycle II got a 100% implementation percentage.
Meanwhile, the teacher activity achievement scores in the first cycle were 76.42
and 90.71 in the second cycle. The results of learning to read students'
understanding in the first cycle obtained a percentage of completeness of 72.72%
and 87.88% in the second cycle. Constraints that arise in the learning process of
reading comprehension by applying scanning techniques can be overcome by
providing examples of how to find specific information with the right steps. So, it
can be concluded that applying scanning techniques can improve the reading
comprehension skills of 7th grade students of Islamic Junior High School
Annadzir Boarding School.
Keywords: scanning techniques, reading comprehension, special text.
PRELIMINARY
Reading skill is one of the skills that must be mastered by school students.
Through reading skills, students can understand reading that includes the content
and information in the inside. In reading there is a process in message acquisition
due to the nature of reading skills is a receptive activity.
There are various types of reading wrong The other is reading
comprehension. Read Understanding is an activity of reading silently carried out
to gain an understanding of something or for the purpose of learning so as to
obtain broader insight into something that has been be read. In reading
comprehension, speed The reading used depends on the reading material that have
been read (Mulyati, 2009:4.5).
In accordance with the Unit Level Curriculum Education (Depdiknas,
2006:328), competency standards reading skills that must be mastered for class 7
is “Understanding the text by reading” skimming, scanning, and reading children's
stories. One of the basic competencies is “Discovering” information quickly from
various special texts (books, telephone directions, itinerary, schedule list, menu
lists, etc.)”.
The results of observations with 7th grade teachers of Islamic Junior High
School Annadzir Boarding School, it was found that the students' ability in read to
find information regarding the schedule travel in grade 7 is still low. It was proven
from student learning outcomes, namely, 60.61% of 33 students have not been
able to reach the KKM (completeness criteria) Minimum) Indonesian language
that has been determined, namely 70.
Furthermore, learning observations are carried out reading in class 7th
grade Islamic Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School. Observation results
shows that students are not yet able to read to find information quickly from
various custom text. In addition, when asked to write travel list into a paragraph
still not many can do it.
The student's inability is caused by by the inappropriate use of learning
techniques reading used by teachers in learning read to find information quickly
from various special texts. Cause in steps the learning carried out by the teacher is
as follows: following. At the beginning of the teacher's activities in the process
Learning only explains the material at a glance. Given an example taken from the
package book Indonesian. The teacher gives a way to find how to find the perfect
itinerary conducted. After being given a brief example, teacher give assignments
to answer the questions given by the teacher which was also taken from the 7th
grade textbook.
In order to overcome the problems that occur in 7th grade Islamic Junior
High School Annadzir Boarding School, the author collaborates with classroom
teachers to improve and improve the quality reading learning. As for the efforts
made is to do Classroom Action Research (CAR) by using a scanning reading
technique.
Scanning technique is a technique in learning to read which can be used as
a learning support tools to help fluency effectiveness and efficiency of achieving
learning objectives to be achieved. Application of scanning techniques in scanning
reading skills learning, will can motivate students in the learning process. With
the scanning technique, students are expected to be more easy to find information.
Because when students read scan, he will go beyond words without having to read
it in its entirety (Rahim, 2009:52).
This is also explained by Nurhadi (2010:115) that people who read who
use the technique scanning does not see word for word or even paragraphs but
sweeps the page thoroughly. Only when what you are looking for is found, read it
with normal or thorough speed.
Similar research has been carried out by Boboy (2011) with the title
"Application of Reading Techniques" Scanning to increase Ability Finding
Messages for Class V Students at SDN Made I/475 Surabaya". The results of this
study indicate that learning by applying scanning techniques can improve
students' reading learning outcomes. Difference This research lies in the location
and subject under study different from previous research
Based on the background above, the writer put forward the title
"Application of Scanning Techniques for Improve Reading Comprehension Skills
7th grade students of Annadzir Islamic Junior High School Boarding School”.
Purpose of holding this research so that students' abilities in learning read to find
information quickly from various special texts can be increased by apply scanning
techniques.
Based on the background of the problems that have been described
previously, a problem formulation can be formulated which will be solved in this
research. Formulas the problem, which are as follows: (1) how ? application of
scanning techniques to improve reading comprehension skills of 7th grade
students of Islamic Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School ?, (2) how are
the results of learning to read understanding of 7th grade students of Islamic
Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School with application of scanning
techniques ?, and (3) what are obstacles that arise in the implementation learning
reading comprehension of 7th graders of Islamic Junior High School Annadzir
Boarding School with the application of scanning and techniques how to solve
it ?.
The aims of this researcher are (1) describe the application of scanning
techniques to improve students' reading comprehension skills grade 7 Islamic
Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School, (2) describe learning outcomes
reading comprehension of 7th grade students of Islamic Junior High School
Annadzir Boarding School with the application of scanning techniques, and (3)
describe the obstacles that arise in the implementation of learning reading
comprehension of students 7th grade Islamic Junior High School Annadzir
Boarding School with the application of scanning techniques and how to
overcome these obstacles.
In the context of learning Indonesian, Subana and Sunarti (2009:20)
suggest that technique contains various methods and tools that used by the teacher
in the classroom. In learning read scan, Tampubolon (in Rahim 2009:52) explains
that to find special information there are several reading techniques that used,
namely (1) read select (selecting), (2) read skipping, (3) skimming, and (4) face
reading (scanning).
Learning comes from the word "teaching" which means means instructions
to people so that they are known (to be followed) (Depdikbud.1996:14) the word
'teaching' is then get the prefix “ber” because of the allomorphic process the prefix
'ber' changes to 'bell' then then the word 'teaching' becomes 'learn' which means
trying to gain knowledge or knowledge. From the word 'learn' then gets the affix
(konfik) "pe- an" then it becomes the word "learning" which meaning is the
process, method, making people or living things to learn.
Based on the above understanding can be drawn conclusion, that the
learning technique is a skills and ways to carry out systematic steps in effective
learning given by the teacher in the classroom. In learning must also be
accompanied by a desired goal achieved in learning.
There are various techniques in reading. Tampubolon (in Rahim 2009:52)
explains that to find specific information there are several techniques reading
used, namely (1) read select (selecting) is that the reader chooses reading material
and or parts (sections) of reading that he deems relevant, or contains the focus
information it specifies, (2) read jump (skipping) that the reader in finding
relevant passages or passages, go beyond or skip other passages, (3) read
skimming is skimming or reading quick to get some information from us read.
Skimming is done to do the reading speed in general in a reading material. In
skimming, the reading process is carried out by jumping by looking at the main
ideas in reading material while understanding the big theme. In addition to getting
the main idea of a text., and (4) face-to-face reading (scanning reading
comprehension) is a very fast read. When someone reading comprehension, he
will be beyond words. According to Mikulecky & Jeffries (in Rahim, 2009:52),
reading comprehension is important to improve reading ability. This reading
technique is useful to find some information as quickly as possible. Usually we
read word for word from every sentence which he reads. By practicing reading
techniques understanding, one can learn to read for understand reading text in a
faster way. But, reading in this way of understanding is not random used. If for
purposes of reading a book texts, poems, important letters from lawyers, and so
on, need to read in more detail).
In language learning, there are several techniques that can be used by
teachers, especially reading skills. One of them is technique scanning. According
to Soedarso (2006:89), scanning is a reading technique for get some information
without reading anything else. So in reading scanning students go directly to The
problem sought is about specific facts and certain information. Scanning
techniques in everyday used, among others, to (a) look up telephone numbers, (b)
look up words in the dictionary, (c) look up entries in index, (d) look for statistical
figures, (e) look at television broadcasts, and (f) view travel lists.
Assessment is an activity that is used to know the level of success to
achieve goals that have been set (Nurgiyantoro, 2010:6). In the assessment of
learning to read, Nurgiyantoro (2010:368) explains that the reading competency
test is the ability to capture and understand or while responding to the information
submitted through a written symbol that represents a particular sound which has a
certain meaning. For assessing the task of reading comprehension in writing can
using an assessment rubric that includes seven points. The seven points are
understanding the content of the text, understanding of the details of the content of
the text, the accuracy of the organization of the text, accuracy of diction, accuracy
of sentence structure, spelling and grammar write, the meaning of obedience.
In this study, the aspects assessed for know students' improvement in skills
reading comprehension by applying the technique There are three types of
scanning: accuracy in finding specific information, completeness in finding details
special information and time speed in find specific information in the text. The
three aspects it is taken from the opinion expressed Nurgiyantoro (2010:368). Of
the seven points that used by researchers only took three aspects. Because the
aspect used adapts to learning provided to students. Writer assess the results of
reading comprehension in finding specific information using objective tests in the
form of short answer questions and description questions. Evaluation This is done
so that the aspects that have been can be achieved in learning reading
comprehension with scanning techniques to find information specifically from a
text.
METHOD
In accordance with the title of the study, namely "Application" Scanning
Techniques to improve Skills Reading comprehension of students in Grade 7
Islamic Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School, then the type of research
is descriptive research qualitative. Qualitative descriptive research is a The form
of research is carried out after the incident takes place to collect information and
then describe the data as it is and explain the data carefully, detailed and complete
This research uses Action Research Class. According to Aqib (2011:13),
research classroom action is research conducted by teachers in their own
classrooms through self-reflection with the goal is to improve its performance so
that the results student learning increases. This research aims to improve students'
scanning reading skills 7th grade of Islamic Junior High School Annadzir
Boarding School. As for the efforts made is to apply scanning techniques in
teaching and learning process. The subject of this research is teachers and students
of grade 7 Islamic Junior High School Annadzir Boarding School, while the

In the implementation of reading learning understanding by applying
scanning techniques, can well implemented starting from and up to end activities.
This is based on the results of observations that conducted by two observers,
indicating that the percentage of learning implementation is achieved 100% in
cycle I and cycle II as well as teacher activities in obtained an achievement score
of 76.42 in the first cycle and 90.71 in cycle II. Teacher activities in cycle I and
cycle II increased by 14.29.
Student learning outcomes in learning to read understanding by applying
scanning techniques to the first cycle reached 72.72% and 87.88% in the second
cycle. Thing This shows that there is an increase in learning outcomes students
from cycle I to cycle II. Learning outcomes experience the increase from cycle I
to cycle II was 15.16%.
The obstacles that arise in the process learning reading comprehension by
applying scanning technique, the teacher is still difficult to control the students
and the teacher's voice is not loud enough. To overcome the above constraints,
teachers in learning to read understanding by applying scanning techniques must
be more able to create a comfortable classroom atmosphere and able to control the
class so that the teacher can control student. Teachers also have to maximize the
sound to make it more loud so all students can hear. Teacher using an ice breaker
in the form of color pats. This used by teachers to control students when students
starting to get busy in doing good group assignments as well as individual tasks.
Suggestion
There are some suggestions that the researcher conveys: namely as
follows. For teachers, so that develop learning by applying scanning techniques
and children are more motivated to learn so that it can improve the learning
outcomes achieved student. For schools, in order to develop quality learning that
is in school so that they experience improvement for the better develop reading
comprehension learning by applying the scanning technique. For other
researchers, it is recommended that researchers do the learning reading
comprehension by applying the technique scanning so that learning is carried out
make it easier for students to find specific information so that students become
more interested in learning.
