Abstract


Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan hasil belajar siswa dalam membaca bahasa Inggris bagi siswa ekstrovert dan introvert setelah diajarkan dengan menggunakan metode STAD. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode campuran kuantitatif dan kualitatif dalam menganalisa data penelitian. Instrumen penelitian menggunakan tes, koesioner, dan lembar observasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa hasil rata-rata siswa dalam postest di kelas eksperimental (72,57) lebih tinggi dari pada kelas kontrol (60,41). Hasil ini menyimpulkan bahwa teknik STAD secara efektif dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar membaca bahasa Inggris. Selain itu, STAD juga terbukti dapat meningkatkan keaktifan siswa di dalam kelas yakni dengan mengikutsertakan seluruh siswa dalam kegiatan dan tugas kelompok. Teknik ini juga cukup efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menentukan ide utama dalam bacaan sehingga para siswa akan dapat meningkatkan kemampuan berfikir kritis dalam kegiatan diskusi di kelas.
