Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Team Pair Solo (TPS) strategy on students’ reading comprehension of narrative texts at the ninth grade of SMPN 2 Trimurjo, Because the students have difficulties in understanding narrative texts, including limited vocabulary, low reading motivation, and challenges in recognizing text structure. Therefore, this cooperative learning model is used to know the effect of Team Pair Solo strategy.

This research applied a quantitative approach. The sample involved two groups: an experimental group that received instruction using the Team Pair Solo (TPS) strategy and a control group that was taught through traditional methods. Data were obtained through reading comprehension tests using multiple-choice items that assessed main ideas, supporting details, inference skills, vocabulary knowledge, and reference understanding.

The outcome of the independent t-test revealed a significant difference in the post-test results between the two groups, with a significance level of 0.017 (p < 0.05). This demonstrates that the TPS strategy had a meaningful and positive impact on students’ reading comprehension. The results suggest that the Team Pair Solo method enhances student engagement, fosters critical thinking, and supports independent understanding of texts.
