Penerapan Media TV Baca pada Pembelajaran Membaca Kelas I SD Inpres Karunrung

Abstract

This study aimed to describe students' responses to the use of the TV Baca learning medium in early reading instruction and to identify the obstacles they experienced. The medium is shaped like a television and displays pictures, words, and syllables that students read, rearrange, and read aloud in front of their classmates. A quantitative descriptive approach with a one-shot survey design after the treatment was used. The participants were all 27 first-grade students of class IA at Inpres Karunrung Elementary School in Makassar, selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected with a closed questionnaire of six items with Yes or No answers, which were read aloud and assisted by an observer, and supplemented with written reasons for No answers. The data were analyzed descriptively using percentages. The results showed that 156 of 162 answers (96.30%) were Yes, which belongs to the very good category. All students enjoyed learning with the medium, wanted to learn with it again, and found it more fun than ordinary lessons. The obstacles were low visibility of the text from the back seats, difficulty in rearranging scrambled syllables, and low confidence in reading in front of classmates. The findings describe responses only, not reading improvement.
