Abstract

Reading comprehension skills can influence student learning success. One factor affecting reading comprehension skills is the reading source in the form of textbooks. This study aims to analyze students’ reading comprehension skills in terms of Indonesian language textbooks. Type This type of research is a mixed-methods study. The subjects of this research were students of SMPN 1 Kwanyar. The research data was obtained through a quantitative approach with a survey design of reading comprehension skills using a test instrument. The indicators of reading comprehension skills used are literal understanding, reorganization, inferential understanding, evaluation, and appreciation. Qualitative methods are used to analyze the Indonesian language textbooks for class VIII, which students have been using to learn Indonesian. The results showed that the average reading comprehension skills of SMPN 1 Kwanyar students were 47% below the low category. The details of each indicator include literal understanding (81% including the medium category), 66% reorganization including the medium category, 9% inferential understanding including the low category, 48% evaluation including the low category, and 50% appreciation including the low category. Based on the results of the analysis of class VIII Indonesian textbooks, it was found that the presentation of the material and the form of the questions given were more indicators of literal understanding and reorganization. In contrast, inferential understanding, evaluation, and appreciation indicators had yet to be emphasized.
