Analisis kesulitan membaca pada pembelajaran bahasa Indonesia di madrasah ibtidaiyah negri sukamaju Lampung selatan

Abstrak

Reading ability is a basic skill that is the foundation for mastering knowledge and learning success in various subjects. However, in practice, many students at the junior high school level still experience difficulties in understanding texts, especially in learning Indonesian which requires complex literacy skills. This study aims to analyze the forms of reading difficulties experienced by students, the factors that cause them, and the efforts of teachers in overcoming these obstacles at Tahfidzul Qur'an Sekampung Udik Middle School, East Lampung. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through observation of the learning process, interviews with teachers and students, and document analysis in the form of reading assignment results and teacher assessment notes. The results show that reading difficulties experienced by students include: (1) difficulty understanding new vocabulary and contextual meaning, (2) difficulty identifying main ideas and detailed information in the text, (3) low ability to summarize the content of the reading, (4) lack of interest and motivation to read, and (5) limited ability to read aloud with correct pronunciation and intonation. Factors causing reading difficulties include internal factors, such as lack of reading habits, low motivation, and limited vocabulary mastery; and external factors, such as a lack of variety in learning methods, minimal use of supporting learning media, and limited access to interesting reading materials. Efforts made by teachers to overcome these difficulties include implementing a gradual reading strategy, providing individual guidance, using visual and digital media, and increasing literacy activities through a 15-minute reading program, small group discussions, and guided reading assignments. This study concludes that improving students' reading skills requires a varied learning approach, intensive mentoring, and collaboration between teachers, schools, and parents to build a strong literacy culture. By improving learning strategies and providing supporting resources, students' reading skills can improve significantly, thus optimizing Indonesian language learning outcomes.
