Abstract

This research delved into the efficacy of the flipped learning strategy in enhancing students' intensive reading comprehension and explored their responses to its implementation via Google Classroom. A quasi-experimental study involved 66 seventh-grade students from a state junior high school in Cilegon, strategically divided into an experimental group adopting flipped learning and a control group utilizing traditional scientific methods. Data, gathered through pre-tests and post-tests to gauge reading comprehension and questionnaires to capture student perspectives, were analyzed using SPSS. An independent sample t-test revealed that the experimental group achieved significantly higher post-test scores (80.06) compared to the control group (74.27), underscoring the superior effectiveness of flipped learning in boosting reading comprehension. Furthermore, the questionnaire results showed a predominantly positive student outlook on leveraging Google Classroom within this flipped pedagogical framework. Consequently, this study concludes that flipped learning, powerfully supported by Google Classroom, stands as a robust and well-received strategy for refining students' intensive reading comprehension
