Learning management using SQ6R technique to develop reading comprehension skills

Abstract

This article aims to study learning management approaches using the SQ6R technique to develop reading comprehension skills. The SQ6R technique is an effective reading method that enables learners to deeply understand content through an eight-step learning process. These steps include Survey, which provides learners with an initial perspective on the content by examining main topics, subtopics, and key elements; Question, which encourages analytical thinking and goal-setting in reading to seek answers; Read, which involves reading the content thoroughly while focusing on points related to the posed questions; Record, which helps learners summarize key ideas in an easily understandable format, such as charts, outlines, or mind maps to reinforce comprehension; Recite, which involves reviewing the content in their own words through speaking or writing summaries, aiding memory retention; Reflect, which entails deep consideration of the relationship between new information and prior knowledge or experiences; Relate, which enables learners to connect the content with real-life situations for practical application; and finally, Review, which helps learners retain information longer and reduces forgetting rates.

Implementing learning management using the SQ6R technique effectively enhances students' reading comprehension skills, as it promotes systematic learning and helps learners extract essential information accurately. This approach reduces the problem of reading without genuine understanding. Moreover, the SQ6R technique is adaptable to various subjects and serves as a framework for fostering lifelong learning skills. These sequential steps enable learners to process information systematically, leading to sustainable comprehension.
