Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the effectiveness of an e-book-based reading model in improving students’ skimming skills at SMKN 3 Pinrang. Employing a quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control groups, the research involved 65 tenth-grade students divided into an experimental group (n = 33) and a control group (n = 32). Data were collected through pre-test and post-test assessments using validated instruments. The normalized gain (N-Gain) analysis revealed that the experimental group achieved a mean N-Gain score of 0.78 (78.26%), categorized as “high,” whereas the control group achieved only 0.24 (24.19%), categorized as “low.” These findings indicate that the e-book-based reading model significantly enhances students’ skimming skills by integrating interactive features and promoting autonomous learning. The study concludes that e-book media can serve as an effective pedagogical tool for improving reading efficiency and digital literacy in vocational high schools. Keywords:
