The Application of Adiksimba Technique to Improve the Ability to Understand Reading Information in SDN 2 Bancar

The ability to understand reading information is one of the skills that students must master. However, in reality, there are still difficulties in understanding the content of reading because reading with a thinking process has not been fully mastered. Rapid technological developments and a lack of literacy are contributing factors. This study aims to describe the application of the Adiksimba technique to improve reading comprehension skills at SDN 2 Bancar and address the challenges faced in the research. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with the research subjects being the school principal, teachers, and students at SDN 2 Bancar, selected through purposive sampling to obtain more relevant and in-depth information. Data collection techniques included interviews, observations, and documentation, with analysis using the Miles and Huberman model, which consists of data collection, data condensation, data presentation, and decision-making, as well as validity testing through triangulation of sources and techniques. The research results indicate that the Adiksimba technique improves students’ reading comprehension skills through structured learning that includes reading comprehension activities, identifying main ideas, discussions, applying the Adiksimba technique, and teacher feedback. The challenges faced in applying the Adiksimba technique to improve reading comprehension skills at SDN 2 Bancar include the diverse abilities of students, lack of activity in discussions, limited vocabulary of students, and limited training for teachers. The solutions implemented to address these challenges include differentiating reading materials, conducting ice-breaking activities before discussions, expanding the collection of books and literacy facilities, and providing ongoing teacher training. This study contributes to the development of literacy strategies at the elementary school level and offers valuable insights, paving the way for new innovations in the field of education.
