Abstract

This study mainly aimed at finding out the implementation of blended learning using Edmodoin teaching reading comprehension, the effect of blended learning using Edmodo in improving students’ reading comprehension abilities and finding out students’ attitude to the implementation of it. Involved in this study were two classes of first graders which were divided into experimental and control groups where merely experimental group that got additional online class in Edmodo. This study revealed that blended learning using Edmodo was implemented in the eight reading comprehension meetings. The whole sessions consist of: 1. Introduction to the course, 2. Finding main ideas, identifying supporting detail and visualizing, 3. summarizing, 4.inferring, predicting, and concluding, 5. Vocabulary knowledge for effective reading skill, 6. Facts and opinion; and 7. Comparing and contrasting. Of all eight sessions, each session used two different classes. The pre-reading activity and post-reading activity were taught in Edmodo, whereas the while-reading activity was taught in face-to-face class. Data from statistic computation also proves that blended learning using Edmodo was able to help the learners in enhancing their comprehension. The result of the t-test computation (independent sample test) exhibited a significant difference between the experimental group who was treated using face-to-face class and Edmodo (Virtual Online Class) and the control group who was treated using conventional face-to-face method in which the thetobtwas higher than tcrit (6.425 > 2.000) with the effect size was r =.80049658. The data from questionnaire demonstrated that the students showed positive attitude toward the implementation of blended learning using Edmodo in teaching reading comprehension and the total mean of the students’ attitude was 3.91. All in all, the implementation of blended learning using Edmodo and the students’ positive attitude toward the implementation of it may be the factors to their significant increase on their reading comprehension test.
