Classroom Teacher's Efforts in Improving Students' Reading Potential through the Quantum Reading Method with Wordwall Media

Abstract

Reading potential is one of the skills that must be developed, as a serious process carried out by readers to obtain information, messages, and meanings contained in a reading. This study aims to determine how the teacher's efforts in increasing the reading potential of students through the use of quantum reading methods with wordwall media. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study design. Data sources were taken from twenty people who became informants through observation and in-depth interviews, all informants were all first grade students and first grade teachers. All interview results were then analyzed using data analysis techniques and data validity testing. The results of the analysis show that there are several efforts of classroom teachers in increasing students' reading potential through the use of quantum reading methods with wordwall media in Indonesian language subjects in elementary school students, namely: i) instilling the importance of reading, ii) providing colored reading books, iii) applying quantum reading methods with an emphasis on understanding benefits, visualization, imagination and iv) using media in the form of wordwall applications containing various kinds of games. The impact of using the quantum reading method with wordwall media, students have been able: i) instilling the importance of reading, ii) providing colored reading books, iii) applying quantum reading methods with an emphasis on understanding the benefits, visualization, imagination and iv) using media in the form of wordwall applications that contain various kinds of games. The impact of using the quantum reading method with wordwall media, students have been able to: i) recognize letters ii) read various words, iii) increased confidence in speaking, iv) the emergence of interest in learning and enthusiasm of students and v) increased writing skills. The implications of this research can be used as initial data for subsequent researchers in studying this problem in different contexts and issues.
