Abstract

This research employed a quantitative research method to investigate the effectiveness of Padlet utilization in enhancing the reading skills of tenth-grade students in comprehending recount texts at a vocational school. The quantitative approach allowed for the collection of numerical data that was analyzed using statistical techniques to determine the impact of the instructional intervention. Specifically, a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design were employed, with data collected through validated and reliable tests. The statistical analysis involved the use of paired sample T-tests with SPSS 22 to compare the participants' pre-test and post-test scores. The significance level was set at p < 0.05 to determine the effectiveness of Padlet in boosting the reading skills of the students. Based on the result, English teachers are encouraged to incorporate the Padlet application into teaching practice to boost students’ learning outcomes and improve their engagement in learning. Further study is needed to find out the efficacy of Padlet compared to other digital interactive boards such as Lino, Wakelet, Dotstorming, and others.
