Abstract

This study examines the effect of the Nearpod application on reading comprehension among students in the International Class Program (ICP) at SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Sidoarjo, focusing specifically on narrative texts. Employing a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach, the research involved 36 ICP students, comprising 14 boys and 22 girls, selected through purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of teaching narrative texts using Nearpod, an interactive platform designed to enhance student engagement and comprehension. Data were collected through pretests, and posttests, and then analyzed using paired samples t- tests. Results revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' reading comprehension scores, with the mean increasing from 80.33 in the pretest to 88.22 in the posttest (p-value = 0.000). This finding demonstrates that Nearpod effectively enhances students' reading comprehension by providing interactive and engaging learning experiences.
