Abstract


Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui: 1) efektifitas teknik DBCIRC untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman membaca; 2) persepsi mahasiswa terhadap penerapan teknik DBCIRC. Peneliti menggunakan one class pre-test post-test design. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas 16 mahasiswa STKIP Muhammadiyah Kotabumi yang dipilih secara purposive. Dalam mengumpulkan data, peneliti menggunakan tiga instrumen yaitu test pemahaman membaca, angket dan pedoman wawancara. Data dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil analisis data menunjukan bahwa (p) value yang diperoleh dari perhitungan paired t-test adalah 0.000. Dapat dilihat bahwa (p) value (0.000) lebih kecil dari taraf signifikan (0.05). Artinya adalah Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima. Disamping itu, hasil angket dan wawancara menunjukan bahwa persepsi mahasiswa terhadap penerapan teknik DBCIRC adalah positif. Jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa penerapan teknik DBCIRC sangat efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman mahasiswa dalam membaca.
