Abstract

This research investigated the effectiveness of the reciprocal technique on students’ reading skills at 10th graders in SMA Ma’arif NU Karanganyar Purbalingga. The study employed a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: class X-B as the experimental group, which was taught using the reciprocal technique, and class X-E as the control group, which received the conventional method. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests consisting of 50 validated multiple-choice questions based on recount texts. The results were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics 27. The paired-sample T-test showed significant improvements in both groups, indicating that both teaching methods enhanced students’ reading skills. However, the independent T-test revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores than the control group (sig 0.008 < 0.05). These findings demonstrated that the reciprocal technique is effective in improving reading comprehension. The technique fosters active participation, collaboration, and critical thinking by engaging students in predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. This student-centered approach enhances academic achievement and motivation, particularly in understanding the texts.
