Gembong Pati mempunyai kesulitan dalam pemahaman membaca. Kriteria
Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM) dari kelas 8 adalah 75. Sementara itu, rata –rata nilai
siswa adalah 65,ini di bawah KKM. Berdasarkan facta tersebut, peneliti
berkeinginan untuk membantu mereka melaui teknik meringkas untuk
meningkatkan pemahaman membaca siswa kelas 8 dari MTs N Gembong Pati
tahun ajaran 2013/2014.
Tujuan penelitian tindakan ini adalah untuk mendeskripsikan jika teknik
meringkas dapat meningkatkan pemahaman membaca siswa kelas 8 dari MTs N
Gembong Pati tahun ajaran 2013/2014.
Peneliti melakukan penelitian tindakan kelas untuk memecahkan masalah
penelitian. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada siswa kelas 8-A dari MTs N Gembong
Pati pada semester pertama tahun ajaran 2013/2014. Dengan jumlah siswa kelas
8-A adalah 25 siswa; 20 siswa perempuan dan 5 siswa laki-laki. Penelitian ini
terdiri dari 2 siklus dan setiap siklus memiliki instrument yang meliputi: observasi
dan tes. Disamping itu, peneliti juga menerapkan desain penelitian pada setiap
siklus sebagai berikut: Perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, analisis dan
refleksi.
Penemuan dari penelitian yang dilaksanakan memperlihatkan bahwa
sebelum ke siklus I nilai rata-rata siswa adalah 66.08 dan persentase nilai rata-rata
66.08% dalam kategori cukup. Pada siklus I, nilai rata-rata dalam tes membaca
meningkat yaitu 73.28 dan persentase nilai rata-rata adalah 73.28% dalam
kategori baik. Pada siklus II, nilai rata-rata dalam tes membaca meningkat yaitu

66.08%, pada siklus I 73.28%. dan siklus II 82.72%. Pada siklus II ini, hasil
peningkatan diperoleh. Ada perkembangan aktivitas siswa dalam memahami
bacaan melalui teknik meringkas pada setiap siklus. Pada siklus I, guru
menggunakan teknik meringkas untuk mengerjakan tugas secara individu. Pada
siklus II, guru menggunakan teknik meringkas untuk mengerjakan tugas secara
berpasangan, untuk menemukan ide utama dengan cepat pada kegiatan
xii
pembelajaran membaca dan membuat siswa berantusias mengikuti kegiatan
membaca. Siswa serius terlibat dalam aktivitas membaca dan dalam mengerjakan
tes kemampuan membaca dengan tujuan yang jelas. Dengan semangat yang
tinggi, siswa santai dan senang untuk terlibat dalam aktivitasmembaca.
Teknik meringkas dapat meningkatkan pemahaman membaca siawa, jadi
