Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of using semantic mapping to develop
pupils’ vocabulary development to improve their reading comprehension ability. The
instruments used in this study was adapted from Word Association Test (WAT), Vocabulary
Size Test (VST) and a reading comprehension test prepared by the Selangor Education
Department. A total of 30 Year five pupils from a primary school in a district of Klang
participated in this study. This quasi-experimental research design involved one experiment
group. Pupils were given a pre-test and post-test on reading comprehension, VST and WAT.
It was analysed using paired sample t-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The t-test
result on WAT was statistically significant with a p-value of .00 (p |
