Transformation of Students' Reading and Writing Interest through Collaboration and Communication in the “Bakuturabaulaslap” Practice

Abstract

Low interest in reading and writing among students, coupled with the lack of collaborative and motivational practices between teachers and students, as well as the limited book collections in school libraries, prompted this research to introduce the innovative practice of "Bakuturabaulaslap" as a solution to these issues. This study adopts a qualitative approach to understand the impact of the innovative practice of "Bakuturabaulaslap" on enhancing students' interest in reading and writing at Kosgoro Senior High School in Tomohon. Through a descriptive method, the research aims to describe the implementation of this practice and is conducted by observing student activities and conducting interviews with various stakeholders. The research design consists of structured action steps involving student participation in literacy activities, with research instruments including observation, interviews, and document analysis. The results of data analysis show an increase in students' interest in reading and writing, the formation of collaboration among students, and close communication between teachers and students. Overall, the "Bakuturabaulaslap" practice successfully enhances students' learning interest and strengthens communication and collaborative culture. This research contributes positively to the development of differentiated learning strategies that optimize students' creativity in learning and support the implementation of the School Literacy Movement.
