ABSTRACT 

This studies pursuits to realize the impact of live strays on studying comprehension in Islamic junior excessive 

schools. Reading comprehension is the manner that calls for the reader to decipher the language and assemble 

a significant complete as the writer intended. It isn't always approximately know-how which means of the text. 

This studies makes use of an experimental layout with a test and a manage group. Researchers used the take a 

look at as a device on this study. He took the take a look at twice, a pretest and a post-take a look at. Pretests 

have been used to evaluate college students' preliminary expertise of studying comprehension of narrative 

texts, and post-checks have been used to degree college students' studying comprehension after receiving 

treatment. The end result indicates that the post-take a look at statistics found out good sized variations in 

studying comprehension amongst college students’ with inside the experimental and manage classes. A pupil 

taught historically can display this with the aid of using her common speaker performance. Students taught 

the use of the -stand -scatter method (76.43) scored better than the ones taught the use of the direct method 

(68.21). Furthermore, from the effects of the t-take a look at, sig. (0.002) < 0.05. 

Keywords: two stay two stray, reading comprehension, descriptive text, Islamic Junior

I. INTRODUCTION 
Reading is one of the fundamental ways 

to build knowledge. It offers several 

activities to help you understand written 

expressions (Aziz, 2020a). A lot of 

knowledge, information, or solutions to 

problems can be obtained through reading. 

Knowledge construction is the stage of 

reading and discovery (Fatoni, 2020). So 

reading helps you get a lot of information to 

increase your knowledge. It is one of the 

learning tools that is always included in 

classroom activities. It's also important to 

recognize that many worldwide read books 

in multiple languages. For various reasons, 

most people have learned to read in a second 

or third language. These include exchanges 

within and between heterogeneous 

multilingual nations, large-scale migration 

movements, global transportation, 

opportunities for further education, and the 

spread of the broader language of 

communication (Aziz, 2020b). 

Reading comprehension is one of the 

crucial capabilities in gaining knowledge of 

English. It is debated international that 

studying comprehension is the maximum 

critical overseas language skill. In particular, 

college students might also additionally 

want to examine English fabric for his or her 

difficulty however now no longer talk the 

language (Muhid et al., 2020). Much of our 

current thinking about analyzing focuses 

generally at the motive of the activity. Even if 

a project is executed for fun, it's miles 

nevertheless intentional (Vanderplank et al., 

1996).  

Also, maximum college students aren't 

interested by reading. This scenario is due to 

the fact instructors educate college students 

monotonously, making the studying method 

passive and inefficient. It is also a problem 

that the student's reading motivation is low, 

and it is difficult to understand the sentences 

due to the small vocabulary. It is tough to 

reply the questions. Students nonetheless 

have trouble with a few vital elements of 

reading. Determine the generality of a textual 

content, locate the primary idea, recognize 

the motive of the textual content and unique 

linguistic capabilities of the textual content, 

etc.  

Based at the above problem, the authors 

advise a 2-live 2-stray technique. This 

technique makes college students extra lively 

in magnificence and improves their 

analyzing comprehension. In general, Two-

Stay Two-Stray is a pastime wherein college 

students continue to be on a crew even as the 

alternative are trying to find facts from every 

other crew. Two Stay Two Stray is certainly 

considered one among his co-studying 



19 
 

strategies developed (Shaw & Kagan, 1992). 

The TSTS method is basically a set dialogue 

model. Each member of the organization has 

their responsibility (college students become 

'scatterers,' and the alternative  of her college 

students become 'stayers' (Al Halim, 2019). 

This approach makes use of student-focused 

sports instead of teacher-focused sports. So, 

Two Stay Two Stray is a collection 

discussion, and the contributors of this 

organization will encompass her 4 students. 

The percentage the outcomes in their 

discussions as sojourners, and each of them 

as strays search for discussions in different 

groups.  

Desrina Elita, Zainil, and Desmawati 

Radjab labored at the topic 'Improving 

analyzing comprehension of textual content 

counting college students via the provided 

Two Stay Two Stray (Tsts) technique.' 

Implementing TSTS strategies improves 

college students' analyzing comprehension 

of mentioned texts (Elita & Radjab, 2013). 

Other recent studies have shown a 

significant difference between students who 

received and did not receive the guidance of 

two sojourners and her two vagrants. Using 

her two-stay-two-interspersed technique in 

the classroom encouraged students to 

express themselves positively in school. It is 

exciting. Because this way, you don't feel 

embarrassed when you want to talk about 

grammatical errors. You can also show and 

share moral lessons, average thoughts on the 

story, reviews on the protagonist, etc. TSTS 

is a group discussion where students are 

open to the views of other groups (Lesia & 

Angraini, 2018).  

II. LITERATURE OF THE STUDY 

DEFINITION OF READING 
COMPREHENSION 
Besides listening, speaking, and writing, 

analyzing is a critical talent in language 

learning. The number one intention of 

analyzing sports is to apprehend the means 

of the message content material with inside 

the language. (Aziz, 2018) Argued that 

analyzing may be regarded as an interactive 

system among the reader and the text. In 

different words, analyzing makes experience 

of a text, permitting readers to derive 

thoughts and statistics from what they read. 

Some of them can be important, and others 

can be trivial. Reading is knowing written 

text. Reading allows us achieve our research 

and research many stuff approximately the 

arena via analyzing (Jaya, 2021). Reading 

provides students with a lot of meaningful 

information. (Anders, 2019) found that 

reading comprehension is a complex process 

with success in many skills.   



20 
 

Reading comprehension is 

incorporating understanding into texts to 

extract which means from them. The 

technique calls for the reader to decipher the 

language and assemble a significant entire as 

the writer intended. It isn't approximately 

expertise the significance of the text. 

(Haerazi & Irawan, 2020) Added that 

reading comprehension is not just about 

reading aloud or reading aloud but also 

understanding the meaning of a text.   

PURPOSES OF READING   
 (Harmer, 2001) suggest numerous 

functions of studying: studying to affirm 

expectancies and extract precise facts, 

studying for conversation tasks, studying for 

popular understanding, and studying for 

details. Reading for popular comprehension 

(knowledge) and distinctive comprehension 

(characteristic and discourse). The cause of 

those is to discover expectancies: To this end, 

college students have interaction in studying 

to discover expectancies approximately the 

facts they consider is contained with inside 

the textual content. This method specializes 

in the advent section and encourages college 

students to assume the content material of 

the textual content, giving them an 

interesting and motivating studying goal. 

Extract precise facts: When college students 

are requested to study a textual content to 

extract specific facts, they need to see the 

query or project to reply or entire earlier than 

studying the textual content. Once you've 

got this, you may study it any manner you 

want. I want to test the textual content and 

extract the essential facts for the query. 

Communication Task: Teachers can layout 

communicative interactions in studying 

classes. The trainer divides the magnificence 

in 1/2 of. You may be given a textual content 

in advance with inside the path and 

requested to study it. If the alternative 1/2 of 

asks them a query, they could solution it. 

Have them write down the textual content 

even as answering the questions. General 

Understanding: This goal entails college 

students soaking up simplest the textual 

content's principal points.  

Readers are simplest searching out what 

they want to apprehend the complete textual 

content. It consists of a analyzing of diverse 

kinds, specially analyzing for fun. Read 

novels, news, sports, etc. In-Depth 

Understanding: Information: This analyzing 

interest pursuits for college students to 

remedy the troubles they study from the 

textual content. Many texts are useful for 

distinct comprehension work. Students 

could have a completely unique possibility to 

observe the written English language in 

detail, getting to know extra approximately 



21 
 

the issue be counted and usage. 

Understanding Detail: Function and 

Discourse: Students should apprehend the 

shape of the textual content and apprehend 

the capabilities performed. In doing so, 

college students can recognize the discourse 

shape contained with inside the textual 

content and should be capable of decipher it 

to apprehend the textual content fully. Based 

at the description, the writer concluded that 

the pupil should extract statistics from the 

textual content and locate all of the statistics 

to reply the question. If you need to 

apprehend the textual content, you should 

additionally grasp the grammar of the textual 

content.  

UNDERSTANDING TWO-STAY TWO-STRAY  
The Two Stay Two Stray (TSTS) 

technique was developed by (Kagan, 1989). It 

may be carried out to any situation for any 

degree of college students. The Two Stay 

Two Stray shape lets in organization 

individuals to inform different organization 

individuals of the consequences of 

organization discussions. Here college 

students paintings in groups or groups. They 

are allowed to invite their pals 

approximately their social lifestyles even as 

interacting with others in place of running 

individually. In different words, making use 

of TSTS strategies creates interplay and two-

manner conversation among college students 

in place of being attentive to a trainer or 

running alone. Students can solicit, discuss, 

and proportion reviews amongst 

organization individuals (Huda, 2013). 

For two stays and two strays, students 

are divided into four groups. Next, the 

teacher will give the students readings for 

group discussion and set a time for the group 

discussion. Each group has something to 

discuss. When time runs out, two of her four 

students leave the group and move to 

another group to review the information. 

While others stay in the group, they explain 

their material to other groups walking 

around them. This teaching and learning 

process allows students to share their 

thoughts on the material discussed. This 

method will enable students to share and 

discuss experiences while gathering 

information (Fatoni, 2020). 

Two steps continue to be strays. First, 

the trainer divides the scholars into 

businesses of 4 of her college students, 

who're heterogeneous businesses. Second, 

the trainer offers every institution dialogue 

substances for dialogue with the participants 

of every institution. Third: The scholar 

works cooperatively in her institution of 4. 

Its reason is to permit college students to 

take part actively with inside the concept 



22 
 

process. Fourth, after completion, of hers 

from every institution left the institution to 

go to the alternative institution. Fifth, the 2 

human beings with inside the institution 

have the venture of sharing their paintings 

and facts with different institution guests. 

Sixth, the visitor excuses himself and returns 

to his institution to record findings from the 

alternative institution. Seventh: The 

institution consents and discusses the effects 

in their paintings. Week 8: Each institution 

offers their paintings (Huda, 2013). 

Here is the scheme of the One Stay Two 

Stray method: 

  

  

 
 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

APPLICATION PROCEDURES OF TSTS  
In this approach, every institution 

(together with 4 participants) has the 

possibility to proportion the consequences of 

the institution dialogue with the alternative 

companies via way of means of sending two 

"representatives" to the alternative 

companies with inside the class. Given. Two 

of her different participants continue to be 

with inside the institution and host "guests" 

who come from certainly considered one 

among hers with inside the different 

institution to are searching for information. 

(Sihotang, 2017) States that the subsequent 

technique exemplifies how this method may 

be used to educate studying comprehension. 

The trainer divides the elegance into six 

businesses. Each institution includes four 

individuals (assuming the route has 24 of her 

students). The trainer distributes the equal 

quick studying to every institution. Each 

institution member have to underline hard 

phrases with inside the studying text. Then 

they are trying to assist others recognize 

complex phrases through the use of 

dictionaries or explaining the that means at 

once to their friends. Each institution sends 

individuals as "representatives" to the 

businesses to trade data approximately the 

read-aloud text. For example, Group 1 sends 

individuals to Group 2, which sends 

individuals to Group 3. Other businesses do 

the equal.   

The individual staying with the 

institution "greets" the 2 visitors and offers 

facts approximately the institution. Teachers 

ought to make sure that everybody with 

inside the elegance has an possibility to talk 

STAY  STRAY  



23 
 

on the identical time. So you want to strike a 

chord or clap your palms to signify that a 

person desires to speak or stop. In this case, 

the trainer is the timekeeper. All 

"representatives" then go back to their 

authentic institution and percentage with 

their institution the facts obtained from the 

opposite institution. The trainer then 

publicizes that each one college students 

have to take a man or woman quiz, and every 

institution member submits their rankings 

to the institution earlier than all rankings are 

combined. Each institution have to gain a 

complete rating of at the least 300. Each 

pupil then takes a man or woman studying 

quiz. In this quiz, you have to solution her 10 

questions on the studying textual content 

discussed. After the trainer offers the man or 

woman rankings, they integrate their 

rankings with the rankings of her different 

institution members. We can finish that this 

collaborative method includes college 

students transferring across the room even as 

operating with classmates to remedy 

troubles and solution questions. It 

additionally permits each pupil to 'be the 

trainer' they love. It additionally permits 

each pupil to 'be the trainer' they love. When 

college students percentage their thoughts 

and notion methods with others, it allows 

them advantage a deeper know-how of the 

standards at hand. 

III. METHOD 
The study method was a quasi-

experimental design. Although quasi-

experimental designs lack randomization, 

other strategies have been employed to 

achieve the same control over unrelated 

variables (Ary et al., 2010). In the study, 

researchers used quantitative research in a 

quasi-experimental fashion as the design. A 

quasi-experimental is a research approach 

that uses two groups, an experimental group 

and a control group, where the experimental 

group is the class that receives treatment and 

the control group receives no treatment. 

Researchers chose her two classes in this 

study as an experimental and control group.  

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT  
Researchers used the test as a tool in this 

study. He took the test twice, a pretest and a 

post-test. Pretests were used to assess 

students' initial knowledge of reading 

comprehension of narrative texts, and post-

tests were used to measure students' reading 

comprehension after receiving treatment. 

The reading comprehension test 

administered by students consisted of 

reading and comprehending narrative texts 

to answer multiple-choice questions. The 

exam was conducted in a limited amount of 

time. Students had to complete the task in 

120 minutes.  



24 
 

DATA COLLECTION TECHNIQUE 
The records series approach utilized by 

researchers on this look at is a pretest 

performed at the primary meeting. It became 

meant to offer early understanding 

approximately students' cap potential to 

examine narrative texts earlier than present 

process remedy. Both groups (experimental 

and manipulate groups) underwent a 

pretest. The remedy became as long as 3 

meetings. The lessons have been an 

experimental organization and a manipulate 

organization. Experiments have been 

achieved with inside the Two-Stay Two-

Stray (TSTS) and conventionally with inside 

the manipulate organization. The system for 

coaching with the TSTS approach and 

coaching with the traditional method.  

DATA ANALYSIS TECHNIQUE 
Researchers used IBM SPSS Statistic 20 

for Windows to analyze student reading test 

data. Additionally, in the SPSS program, 

researchers use the independent-samples t-

test to identify significant mean differences 

in post-test scores of students between 

experimental and control groups.   

IV. FINDING 
During the study, researchers extended 

the material to students via narrative texts. 

Treatment of experimental and control 

classes. In an experimental class, we 

implemented a two-stay-two-stray. In the 

control class, no two-stay-two strays were 

used. Researchers then used a multiple-

choice test to measure students' reading 

comprehension.  

THE DESCRIPTION OF PRETEST SCORE  
In this part, the researchers provided the 

outcomes of comparing the texts the scholars 

study withinside the pretest. Pretest 

descriptive data are proven in Table 1 below.  

 

 

 

 

Table 1 Descriptive Statistics of pretest 

Table 1 indicates the rankings of the 

scholars earlier than treatment. There turned 

into a similarity among the most and minimal 

rankings for every organization. The minimal 

rating turned into 40, and the most rating 

turned into 80. On the opposite hand, the 

approach for every organization had been 

different. The imply rating for the pretest 

experiments turned into 59.46, and the imply 

rating for the pretest controls turned into 

58.21.  

THE DESCRIPTION OF THE POST-TEST SCORE  
In this part, the researchers supplied the 

outcomes of the scholars analyzing the 



25 
 

narrative on a post-check. Post-check 

descriptive records are proven in Table 2 

below.  

 

 

 

 

 

Table 2 Description of post-test 

 Table 2 shows the scores of the students 

after receiving treatment. The experimental 

post-test minimum was 60, and the control 

post-test minimum was 50. The maximum 

control post-test score was 85, and the 

maximum experimental post-test score was 

90. On the other hand, the means of each 

group were different. The average post-test 

experimental score was 76.43, and the 

average post-test control score was 68.21. 

DATA ANALYSIS  
Hypothesis checking out is the closing 

step to locating out the solution to the 

studies speculation. From the speculation 

test, whether or not Two-live Two-stray 

undoubtedly affected college students or 

now no longer might be found. Ho is well-

known if the huge price (tailed) is better 

than 0, 05 and rejected if the huge price is 

decrease than 0, 05. In contrast, Ha is 

received if the significant value (tailed) is 

decrease than 0, 05 and disregarded if the 

huge price is better than 0, 05. To examine 

the information from the college students' 

studying test, the researcher used SPSS 20 to 

get the end result. The end result may be 

visible as comply with in tabel 3:  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table 3 Independent Samples Test  

Table three suggests that the want for 

records could be very high. It may be visible 

from the Sig cost of 0.002. Data are taken into 

consideration full-size if sig. (two-tailed) is 

much less than 0.05. The end result become 

Sig 0.002 < 0.05, and we should finish that the 

records have been full-size. It approach that 

the implemented 2-stay-2-vagabond method 

notably affected students' analyzing 

comprehension, which become enough to 

reject the null hypothesis. The desk above 

suggests the calculation of the pupil 

analyzing imply distinction take a look at 

among the pretest and post-take a look at 

records whilst the importance or full-size 

distinction (two-tailed) possibility cost is 



26 
 

0.002, primarily based totally at the output of 

the t-take a look at.   

V. DISCUSSION 

THE EFFECT OF TSTS ON STUDENTS’ 
READING 

 Based on the results, students 

responded positively to learning in TSTS. 

Therefore, as their learning progressed, their 

reading improved, and they achieved positive 

results in their social relationships with their 

friends. We were able to have a significant 

interdependent relationship. As a result, 

their reading comprehension improved from 

before they were taught the TSTS technique. 

This study also showed that these students 

responded positively to using the TSTS to 

teach reading comprehension. Not only did 

they learn how to acquire more knowledge, 

but they also learned how to interact with 

each other. It taught them to value the 

opinions and ideas of others.   

 Based on the results of the above 

studies, researchers believe that TSTS helps 

students achieve better academic 

performance and positively impacts social 

relationships in the classroom. TSTS can 

produce positive outcomes in terms of 

student social, attitude, and academic 

performance. This exciting technique 

encourages students to participate in 

discussions, think more critically, and be 

more willing to take responsibility for their 

learning. As (Slavin, 1995) stated that 

collaborative learning in TSTS  emphasizes 

activity and interaction among students to 

motivate each other and help them master 

the learning material and achieve satisfactory 

learning outcomes. Said to be a learning 

model. 

Additionally, the authors noted that 

students had positive interdependencies 

during group activities. They discussed the 

text together and drew conclusions or 

answers based on the results of their 

discussion. In this case, the authors advised 

not to work individually to obtain reasonable 

decisions or similar opinions from the team. 

Classroom conditions indicated that 

students could interact well with each other 

in group work. They actively expressed and 

solicited their thoughts and ideas regarding 

the content of the reading text. They sat face 

to face and discussed the meaning of the text, 

so they communicated well. These activities 

affected the capacity within the group. They 

could actively learn in groups without 

involving teachers and work individually on 

answering questions while discussing in 

groups. It was also individually responsible 

for.  

 However, using the TSTS in reading 

instruction, teachers acted as controllers, 



27 
 

counselors, and motivators. Teachers did not 

actively discuss the material but only 

provided discussion guidelines. Next, 

students had to explore the material 

independently or in groups to obtain more 

information. Teachers only help students 

when they have problems, so TSTS 

stimulates students' creativity. I was able to 

do it. Thus the students themselves created a 

highly conducive learning situation in the 

classroom.  

It may be very distinct from the 

conventional coaching and studying system 

on top of things classrooms, wherein college 

students have a character studying system 

that is predicated on motives from the 

instructor. The instructor is the middle or 

number one useful resource for obtaining 

expertise there. Therefore, college students 

are passive and handiest acquire substances 

from teachers. Furthermore, now no longer 

all college students are actively worried in 

locating which means or discussing the 

passages they study. Only stimulated college 

students are a hit in class. This scenario 

negatively influences character overall 

performance and development due to the fact 

college students aren't advocated to examine 

collectively and remedy issues with every 

other. The 2d dialogue offers with the 

maximum tough components of studying 

comprehension. Data evaluation suggests 

that parts, inferences, and information are 

tough to understand textual content. To 

solution reasoning questions correctly, 

college students need to be capable of 

summarize statements from the textual 

content itself wherein the solution isn't 

explicitly stated. For extra info: If you do not 

study the textual content carefully, you 

could now no longer get the precise solution. 

The 3 factor explains that scholars taught in 

TSTS expressed nice evaluations 

approximately the effect of this studying 

version on their overall performance. It 

turned into evidenced with the aid of using 

her 4 classes of the questionnaire: Strategy, 

Positive Relationships, Motivation, and 

Material Percentages. Most college students 

strongly agreed together along with her use 

of the TSTS method in phrases of strategy, 

because it turned into prepared in a set as 

opposed to a character fashion. Also, every 

group consisted of college students from 

distinct cap potential levels, genders, and 

own circle of relatives backgrounds, so the 

scholars had nice relationships and proper 

interactions with inside the group. Brilliant 

college students shared their expertise with 

much less smart college students. It created 

an awesome environment with inside the 

institution at some stage in the studying 

system and advanced robust teamwork.  



28 
 

In terms of motivation, students mostly 

agreed that using the TSTS encouraged them 

to learn to read and write. In addition, 

students could learn from each other and 

together during group discussions. They 

were also very excited to discuss with other 

students from other groups. At the end of the 

lesson, the students received exciting 

rewards such as chocolates and candies. 

These rewards also had the effect of further 

increasing motivation. It is supported by 

(Slavin, 2010) and (Al Halim, 2019), where 

group rewards are essential for collaborative 

learning effectiveness. Motivate students to 

pay more attention to understand the text 

better and get higher scores. They were also 

motivated to learn by this model because it 

gave them an equal chance of success, 

boosted their confidence, and improved their 

academic performance.  

The students also made positive 

comments on the materials provided. The 

text of the story served as material. The 

passage was familiar to my students, so I 

encouraged them to study it. Thus, it can be 

said that the student's reaction to her 

introduction of TSTS into reading 

comprehension learning was positive. As a 

result, students not only continued to 

improve their reading skills but also had 

good results in their social relationships with 

their classmates. Therefore, according to the 

results of this study, teaching-learning using 

TSTS is effective, which was also supported 

by previous studies by other researchers. 

VI. CONCLUSION  
Analysis of the post-test statistics 

discovered good sized variations in studying 

comprehension amongst college students 

with inside the experimental and manage 

classes. A scholar taught historically can 

exhibit this through her common talking 

overall performance. Students taught the 

usage of the two-stand two-scatter 

technique (76.43) scored better than the 

ones taught the usage of the direct technique 

(68.21). Furthermore, from the outcomes of 

the t-check, sig. (0.002) < 0.05. it approach 

that this look at indicates that the 2-stay-2-

vagus technique is effective. From this look 

at, researchers determined that the Two-Stay 

Two-Stray manner advanced scholar overall 

performance and reinforced college students' 

intellectual capability to proportion 

understanding with pals and maintain the 

institution responsible for taking over.
