An Application of the Creative Problem Solving Model in Analyzing the Structure of Complex Explanatory Text on XI Grade SMKN 4 Bandung

Abstract

Reading is a process of which habituate nuncupative communication skill. Reading is a process of reading codes the author made for readers. One of those codes is occur in learning of analyzing complex explanatory text structure. Reading in analyzing complex explanatory text structure is a method that is used to communicating implicit meaning on written symbols. One of the models that used in this learning is creative problem-solving model. This model is a learning skill that based on resolution on creative basis. This study applies a creative problem solving model in learning to analyze the complex explanatory text structure in class XI students of SMKN 4 Bandung which aims to determine the ability of class XI students in analyzing explanatory texts based on their accuracy in determining the existence of a complex explanatory text structure and accuracy in analyzing content suitability based on complex explanatory text structures, as well as testing the effectiveness of creative problem solving models. As for the results obtained by the authors of this study, the acquisition of the value of 3.91 for the feasibility of the instruments used was valid, and the XI grade students of SMK 4 Bandung were able to analyze the complex explanatory text structure. It can be seen from learning enhancement with preponderant post-test than pre-test which is 75.56 ≥ 51.04, and creative problem-solving model was effectively used with the calculation of statistics and pre-test also post-test significance level < 0.05, and 95% interval of level of confidence between, lower = -32.271 and upper = 16.769 which based on the same assumption.
