Abstract

This research aims to reveal the effectiveness of the Student Achievement Teams (STAD) cooperative learning model in teaching reading, both with and without this strategy. The study involves dividing students into achievement teams, which is the foundation of cooperative learning. Each team consists of four to six students who help each other learn. The researcher used a quantitative approach, employing an experimental design with a pre-test and post-test. The study group consisted of 28 eighth-grade students from Salafiyah of Islamic junior High School Sungai Gebar. The researcher conducted direct observations during reading instruction, interviewed the Arabic language teacher at Salafiyah of Islamic junior High School Sungai Gebar and distributed the test to the students. The researcher then used a t-test to determine the effectiveness of the STAD model in teaching reading to the students at this school. The researcher administered the tests to the students and obtained an average score of 80.71, indicating a good level of proficiency. The conclusion of this research is that the STAD model has a moderate effect on teaching a reading.
