ABSTRACT A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN TPS (THINK-PAIR-SHARE) AND JIGSAW TECHNIQUES TO ENHANCE STUDENTS’ READING COMPREHENSION ABILITY Glory Destiny Biantice Marpaung ID 1421014 The purpose of this study is to find out the enhancement of students’ reading comprehension between those who were taught using TPS (Think-Pair-Share) technique and those who are taught using Jigsaw technique. The study discusses the recent developments in reading pedagogy. This study used quantitative research method and comparative design by measuring the achievement of pre-test and post-test. The result of this study shows that ρ.value (sig) = 0.187 > α (0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that there is no significant difference on the student’s reading comprehension ability. Even the difference is not significance, based on the mean score of the classes before and after taught using those techniques, this study indicates that the enforcement of Think-Pair-Share and Jigsaw can enhance students’ reading comprehension ability. The study also provides a new interpretation of existing sources on teaching method and offers new insights of teaching reading method by emphasising the collaborative learning.
