PENINGKATAN KEMAMPUAN MENGEVALUASI ISI TEKS FIKSI DAN NON FIKSI MELALUI PEMANFATAAN E-BOOK GRAMEDIA DIGITAL MURID KELAS VII SMP MUHAMMADIYAH 15 SURABAYA

Abstract

The ability to evaluate the content of fiction and non-fiction texts is an essential component of reading literacy, requiring students to comprehend, analyze, and assess information based on textual evidence. However, students’ ability to evaluate fiction and non-fiction texts remained low, as indicated by the pre-cycle average score of 66,78. This study aims to improve the ability of Grade VII H students at SMP Muhammadiyah 15 Surabaya to evaluate fiction and non-fiction texts through the use of Gramedia Digital e-books. The study employed a mixed-methods approach within a Classroom Action Research (CAR) framework conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The subjects were 29 students. Data were collected through observation, tests, interviews, and documentation and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The results showed a progressive improvement in students’ abilities. The average score increased from 66,78 in the pre-cycle stage to 91,47 in Cycle I and 95,00 in Cycle II. By the end of Cycle II, all students (100%) achieved scores above the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria (KKTP) threshold of 80. These findings indicate that Gramedia Digital e-books effectively support students in comprehending, analyzing, and evaluating fiction and non-fiction texts based on textual evidence. Therefore, Gramedia Digital e-books can serve as an alternative Indonesian language learning medium to support the development of reading literacy and critical thinking skills.
