The influence of the kinesthetic auditory visual learning (VAK) model on the initial reading skills of the Grade I Elementary School Students / Reyla Nur Rosida
Abstrak
This study aimed to determine whether the use of the Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) learning model influences the early reading skills of first-grade elementary students. Conducted at SDN Jeruk Purut 1 the research employed a nonequivalent control group design involving 40 students mdash 20 in class 1A as the experimental group and 20 in class 1B as the control group. Data were collected through an early reading skills test and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The experimental group had an average pretest score of 11.800 and a posttest score of 15.800 while the control group scored 15.000 on the pretest and 16.800 on the posttest. Results from the Mann-Whitney U Test showed a significance value of 0.417 greater than 0.05 indicating that the VAK model did not have a statistically significant effect on early reading skills. However the intervention showed a positive practical impact as reflected in the higher average N-Gain score of the experimental group 0.594 compared to the control group 0.470.
