Abstract

Understanding connotative meaning plays a central role in language literacy. This study aimed to investigate the effect of group discussion intervention on grade IV students’ understanding of connotative meaning. This study was conducted at Karanggondang, Bantul Elementary School, in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The quasi-experimental pre-post test method was used in this study. The research sample consisted of fourth-grade students randomly selected to follow the group discussion intervention. The instrument used was a connotative meaning comprehension test composed of four indicators. The test data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed ranks test to see the difference between pre-test and post-test and univariate analysis to analyse changes in mean scores. The results showed that the group discussion intervention significantly impacted students’ understanding of connotative meaning (Z = 2.12, p < 0.05). In addition, there was an increase in mean scores on all indicators of understanding connotative meaning after the intervention. Based on these results, we recommend implementing a group discussion intervention method in language learning to improve students’ understanding of connotative meaning. In addition, further research can explore other factors that may affect the effectiveness of this method, as well as consider the use of technology as a supporting tool in improving students’ understanding of connotative meaning.
