Microsoft Sway, Reading, Descriptive TextAbstract
The research aimed to determine if there was a significant difference in the
reading achievement of students who were taught using Microsoft Sway
compared to those who were not. A quantitative method with a quasiexperimental design was employed for the study. Data collection involved a
pre-test and post-test, while descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.
The results showed that the independent sample t-test gave a value of 3.226,
which was higher than the t-critical value of 2.000 at a 95% significance
level with 65 degrees of freedom. This indicates that the obtained t-value
exceeded the expected value from the t-table (t-obtained 3.226 > t-table
2.000). As a result, the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative
hypothesis was accepted.
