Abstract

One way to make students more interested in reading is to use small group discussion as a learning strategy.This research aims to find significant differences in students' reading comprehension between students who were taught using small group discussion strategy and those who were taught using fishbowl strategy on tenth grade in teaching reading comprehension at SMAN 1 Purwoasri. This is to prove whether the small group discussion strategy compared to the fishbowl strategy is effective or ineffective for teaching reading comprehension.In this study, the researcher used a quasi- experimental research design. The population of this research involves tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Purwoasri academic year 2024/2025. The researcher used unrandomized sampling to take the sample which is class X- 9, consisting of 34 students, was selected as the experimental group, while class X-7, with 33 students, represented the control group. This research instrument has been tested (Pre-test and Post-test) in a form consist of 50 multiple choices among are 25 pre-test questions and 25 post- test questions. To analyze the data, researchers used Analysis of Covariate (ANCOVA) with the SPSS program version 22.The results of the ANCOVA test shows that the significant value of 0.000 is less than 0.05. This is sufficient evidence for the null hypothesis (Ho) to be rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) to be accepted. Small Group Discussion involved groups of 3–5 students collaborating, encouraging active participation and peer interaction, which led to deeper engagement and better understanding of recount texts. The Fishbowl Strategy splits the class into an inner circle of discussants and an outer circle of observers, promoting reading and analytical skills but limiting direct participation for many students. The study found that Small Group Discussion was more effective than the Fishbowl Strategy in improving tenth-grade students' reading comprehension at SMAN 1 Purwoasri.
