Teaching reading in secondary level is aimed at teaching for comprehension. Comprehension occurs when the reader extracts and integrates various information from the text and combines it with what is already known. Reading comprehension is an intentional, active, interactive process that occurs before, during and after a person reads a particular piece of writing. When a person reads a text, he engages in a complex array of cognitive processes. In the teaching and learning process in SMP Negeri 1 Pecangaan, the teachers still dominate the activities. It emphasis on reading the text and then answers the questions based on the text and discussion to determine the correct answer. This is known as “Baca-Soal-Diskusi” technique (BSD). Concerned about the technique, the researcher thinks that the technique is not good enough. It can be seen that the students’ ability in understanding the text is not satisfactory enough. This research was aimed at describing(1) the difference of effectiveness between CIRC, CTLand conventional techniques and (2) which one is the most effective technique – CIRC, CTL, or conventional – in teaching and learning reading comprehension of grade VIII students of SMPN 1 Pecangaan.. This quasi experimental research used pretest posttest nonequivalent group design with teaching techniques as the independent variable and students’ reading comprehension as the dependent variable. The population of the research was the students of grade VIII of SMPN 1 Pecangaan in the academic year 2013/2014 with three classes were randomly chosen as the research sample. The data were gathered through pretest and posttest of students’ reading comprehension which were analyzed using Ancova continued by Scheffe test with the significance level of 0.05. The research results show that (1) There is a significant difference in the reading comprehension of the students taught using CIRC, that of those taught using the CTL, and that of those taught using the conventional technique with F = 3.68 and p = 0.03 (2) CIRC is the most effective technique among them with the sequence of effectiveness is CIRC followed by CTL and conventional technique. Keywords: CIRC technique, CTL technique, reading comprehension

This study focuses on Think-Talk-Write Strategy in teaching descriptive text to improve students’ writing ability. The objectives of this study are (1) to find out the students’ writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW). (2) to find out the students’ writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught without using Think-Talk-Write (TTW). (3) to find out whether or not there was a significant difference of writing ability between the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught with Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy and without Think-Talk-Write (TTW). The research was Quasi-Experimental research. The subject of the study was the tenth grade students of MAN Demak. Cluster sampling is used in taking the sample. 40 students from class X-5 were selected as the experiment group and 40 students from class X-1 as the control group. The t-test was used to analyze the data. Experiment research was used here to get the data. The pre-test was given to the students on both of groups. After that, the difference treatment was given in experimental group. At the end of the research, the post-test was given to both of groups. The count of the mean score of the experimental class was 79.95 and the count of mean score of the control class was 76.17. It shows that teaching descriptive text by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Strategy gave better result as indicated significant statistical t-test computation, that the t-table value (t5% = 2.03 and t1% = 2.80) is less than t0 = 13.09 (2.03<13.09>2.80). It could be seen that there is a significant difference in writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak after being taught using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Strategy. The researcher offers some suggestions in this research. The school should give good facilities and many strategies for teaching and learning process. For the teacher, the teacher should give variation teaching especially using new techniques and strategies in teaching descriptive text to improve students’ writing ability. For the students, the students have to do more active, confident and creative.

The purpose of this study is to examine the contributions of the Celik STEM Module developed on pupils’ creative thinking in the science classrooms. A quasi-experimental study involved a non-equivalent control group with a sample of 60 eighth-graders aged 13 years old from a boarding school in Baling, Kedah. The sample was divided into two groups; 30 pupils of the treatment group and 30 pupils of the control group. Data were collected from pre-post-creative thinking test (CTT) scores. One-way analysis of covariance at a significance level p < .05 was performed in analyzing the data. After adjusting for pretest scores, there was a significant difference between the two sample groups on posttest scores on the CTT, F (1,57) = 16.639, p = .000, partial eta squared = .226. Besides, there was a significant and moderate relationship between the pretest and posttest scores on the CTT, as indicated by partial eta squared = .082. In conclusion, teaching and learning of the Reproduction topic through STEM integration applied in the module is better than regular instruction. The results of the present study showed that this alternative teaching method has been proven effective in developing and empowering pupils’ creative thinking.
