Abstract

This study aims to determine the process of using discovery learning in learning reading comprehension and to find out students' perspectives after using discovery learning. This study uses descriptive qualitative research, namely research used to understand and explain phenomena in depth and detail. This method aims to understand the qualitative aspects of a problem or research question by exploring detailed descriptive data. The subjects of this study were class X students of Madrasah Aliyah Al Fathanah in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year, with a total of 14 students. The observation results showed that there were 8 people whose reading comprehension was quite good after using discovery learning and there were still some students whose reading comprehension was still lacking. The results of research interviews about students' perspectives after using discovery learning in reading comprehension. Based on the results of interviews with students at MA Al Fathanah, it was found that there were students who did not like English lessons because it was difficult, especially in pronunciation, word processing, grammar and others. However, some of them also said that they did not quite understand the learning process through discovery learning techniques. Thus, this result brings up another note for the research itself to be more competent in the future and to suggest other English teachers explore more of this teaching technique to be used in better examination.
