THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL MATERIAL TOWARDS STANDARD TWO STUDENTS’S ACHIEVEMENT IN READING
Abstract
Teaching and learning through digital technology is
currently experiencing very rapid changes. Changes, especially in the reading
system can be seen through the use of digital material with technology-based.
To achieve that context, this research was carried out to test an interactive
reading material for Standard Two primary school student. The experiment group
was exposed to the use of interactive multimedia material, while the control
group was exposed to the use of conventional material. Quasi-experimental
method was used in this study to test Standard Two Student’s achievement in
reading comprehension. Data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential
methods. Descriptive data are mean and standard deviation. Inferential data
were analyzed using ANCOVA statistic. The result showed that there were
significant difference between the use of interactive and conventional material
when the pre-test is statistically controlled or covariates. The result shows
the implication that interactive multimedia reading material makes student more
creative and critical in reading. Therefore, it is proposed to the Ministry of
Education, Malaysia to intensify the use of interactive multimedia materials in
order to improve the achievement of student in reading.
