Abstract

This study reports on an investigation of teaching reading comprehension through Number Heads Together (NHT) with teacher’s scaffolding. Specifically, this study aims to investigate whether the NHT is effective to help the students improve their reading comprehension. Moreover, this study also aims to identify the students’ responses to the use of this method in reading comprehension. This study employed a quasi experimental design in form of nonequivalent (pre-test and post-test) control-group design with a touch of qualitative data. This study involved two classes of the second grade students at one senior high school in Riau. They were categorized into control and experimental groups. The data were collected through three techniques, encompassing classroom observations, reading comprehension tests, and questionnaire. The data were analyzed based on the theories of the NHT with teacher’s scaffolding (Cooper and McIntyre, 1996, p. 1; Ibrahim, 2000 in Suprasetyo, 2009, p. 4; Kagan, 2013; Pepitone, 1985, p. 67; Slavin, 1985). The findings of this study show that the NHT was effective to help the students improve their reading comprehension. Thus, it is suggested that teachers implement this method as an attempt to improve students’ reading comprehension.
