This study examined the effect of Jigsaw technique as a part of cooperative learning on Iranian EFL learners’ reading comprehension. To this end, 40 intermediate participants were selected out of 73 EFL learners based on the results of Oxford Quick Placement Test (OQPT). The participants were divided into two groups; control and experimental. Then, the participants of both groups were pretested on reading comprehension. After pre-testing, the cooperative learning activities (Jigsaw technique) were practiced with the participants of the experimental group during 5 sessions. The experimental participants were assigned to five-member teams to work on reading texts. Each team member read an assigned section and then members from different teams who had studied the same sections met in ‘expert groups’ to discuss their sections. Then, students returned to their own teams and taught their team-mates about their section. On the other hand, the control group received traditional teacher-fronted instruction throughout the classroom time. After the treatment sessions, a teacher-made reading comprehension post-test was given to the participants of both groups to measure their reading comprehension ability after the treatment. The results of paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test revealed that the experimental group outperformed the control group on the post-test. The findings also showed that there was a significant difference between the post-tests of both groups in favor of the experimental group.

Abstrak : Penelitian dilakukan untuk menganalisis apakah metode pembelajaran  pemecahan masalah (Problem Solving) efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar biologi siswa kelas X SMA Negeri 3 Mataram tahun pembelajaran 2010/2011. Jenis penelitian  eksperimen semu. Populasi penelitian adalah semua kelas X SMA Negeri 3 Mataram tahun pembelajaran 2010/2011. Sampel penelitian ini adalah kelas X10 sebagai kelas kontrol dan kelas X12 sebagai kelas eksperimen dengan jumlah siswa masing-masing 31 orang. Pengambilan sampel dengan teknik Simple Random Sampling.Instrumen penelitian berupa tes hasil belajar, lembar observasi aktivitas guru dan siswa. Pre-tes dilakukan untuk mengetahui kemampuan awal dan Post-test untuk mengetahui hasil belajar siswa setelah diberikan perlakuan yang berbeda. Data hasil belajar kognitif dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji-t polled varians terhadap selisih nilai pre-test dan  pos-test. Hasil penelitian diperoleh rata-rata kelas eksperimen lebih tinggi dari kelas kontrol, baik pada pre-test maupun post-test. Hasil uji hipotesis menunjukkan nilai t hitung> t tabel, yakni 2,987 > 1, 671 pada taraf kesalahan 5%, yang menunjukkan peningkatan hasil belajar yang signifikan. Data hasil belajar untuk aspek afektif dianalisis menggunakan skala penilaian dan aspek psikomotor menggunakan skala likert. Hasil penilaian menunjukkan peningkatan hasil belajar dengan rata-rata sangat baik pada kelas eksperimen, dan beberapa kategori baik dan kurang baik pada kelas kontrol. Hal tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penerapan metode Problem Solving efektif dalam meningkatkan hasil belajar biologi siswa kelas X SMA Negeri 3 Mataram tahun pembelajaran 2010/2011. Kata Kunci: metode Problem Solving, hasil belajar biologi   Abstract: This research is aimed to analyze the effectiveness of problem solving methods to increase biological learning attainment of grade X student of Mataram High School in The Academic Year 2010/2011. This research used quasi experiment design. The population of the research was grade X students of Mataram Senior High School  3 in The Year 2010/2011.

The student assessment data of affective aspect was analyzed using score scale while psychomotoric aspect was analyzed using likert scale. The result shows that the experimental class achieved higher scale of category then the control class as this class achieved only medium and low category scale. This suggest that the application of problem solving learning methods was effective for increasing biological learning attainment of grade X student of Mataram Senior High School 3 in The Year of 2010/2011. Keywords: Problem Solving Methods, students learning attainment

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of parallel reading text (English and Arabic) on English as a Foreign language (EFL) Intermediate II level students’ at Birzeit University in terms of reading comprehension, vocabulary retention, and sentence structure awareness. The sample for this study is 38 undergraduate students of the aforementioned level in two class sections during the fall semester of 2019-2020. One reading text from the course textbook was selected for this experimental study. The controlled group was instructed with an English only reading text while the experimental group used a parallel text of the same reading passage. A pretest on the reading text was used as an instrument to measure the reading skills of vocabulary, reading comprehension, and sentence structure prior to teaching the text for both sections. Six weeks later, a post-test was administered to both groups to assess the impact of parallel reading text in comparison to monolingual English text on students’ reading skills. Results of the post-test showed an increase in the average scores of both groups. There was a noticeable increase of the average scores in the vocabulary section and sentence structure awareness of the post-test among students of the experimental group compared to the average scores of their peers in the controlled group. Nevertheless, the results did not reveal a significant difference between using the two techniques in regard to reading comprehension and sentence structure awareness.
