The findings showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test results, as indicated by the statistical result of pre-test scores (M=49.47) and post-test scores (M=76.40). Furthermore, tobtained (2.633) > tcritical (2.000), r = 0.326. According to the findings, it can be concluded that K-W-L technique improves students’ reading comprehension especially in reading descriptive text.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil pre-test dan post-test, seperti ditunjukkan oleh hasil statistik dari skor pre-test (M = 49,47) dan post-test skor (M = 76,40) dengan nilai t obtained (2,633)> t critical (2.000), r = 0,326. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknik K-W-L meningkatkan pemahaman bacaan siswa terutama dalam membaca teks deskriptif. Selain itu, faktor yang mempengaruhi peningkatan dalam penggunaan teknik K-W-L didukung juga oleh tanggapan siswa dalam kuesioner. Sebagian besar siswa memberikan respon positif terhadap pemanfaatan teknik K-W-L dalam pembelajaran membaca teks deskriptif. Penggunaan teknik K-W-L memberikan beberapa keuntungan bagi mereka seperti; menggunakan teknik K-W-L dapat membantu siswa untuk mengumpulkan informasi yang mereka ketahui sebelum mereka melaksanakan tugas membaca, dapat membantu siswa membuat hubungan antara pengetahuan mereka sebelumnya dengan informasi baru, dan membuat mereka merasa bebas dan nyaman untuk mengungkapkan pendapat mereka.
