The Effect of Team Games Tournament on Students' Reading Motivation and Reading Comprehension
Sari Rahmawati
Team Games Tournament (TGT) significantly improved eighth-grade students' reading motivation and comprehension in a quasi-experimental study with 64 students. The experimental group showed statistically higher gains than the control group on both measures (reading motivation p=0.016, reading comprehension p=0.000). TGT is an effective cooperative learning technique for enhancing reading outcomes.
