Topic: Technological influences in education, particularly in reading comprehensionObjective: To determine whether the specifically technological environment influences students' reading ability.Literature reviewThere is various dozens of studies on reading comprehension based on quantitative research method. In this research, it is proposed that qualitative research be implemented to determine students' reading comprehension. Although statistics can show students' scores, it is clear that comprehension must be analyzed in context and not just on the basis of reading numbers. In Julie Corio's study “Exploring Literacy on the Internet,” it was suggested that “the ability to learn, understand, and interact with technology in meaningful ways” has yet to be fully explored (p. 458 ). In an age where children are inundated with information from the internet and books are already formatted to be read on tablets, laptops and even phones, we are questioning children's ability to understand deeper meanings. deep when they study. The world has become an “instant” and “enabled” world as people rely heavily on technology to understand concepts. Children demonstrate an attitude of entitlement in which everything is spoon-fed through the use of technology. As such, it is only appropriate to conduct qualitative research if technology can actually positively influence students' reading abilities. For Vicky Cohen and John Cowen, in their book “Literacy for Children in an Information Age”, technology is valuable for children. with learning disabilities. This means that technology-assisted learning has opened a different perspective in teaching children with disabilities due to the different levels of reading comprehension compared to the reading technology used. excluding baseline differences. LimitationsSince we will be using purely qualitative research, it is expected that the study will be more comprehensive in terms of interaction with participants. This is a weakness of qualitative research compared to quantitative research where statistics and figures can provide explicit data that would empirically strengthen a study. However, it should be noted that reading comprehension is not just about statistics, it is about how well the learner was able to understand what they read in different contexts. As Berry stated, true “feelings” without reflection would be difficult to understand without the context in which they are expressed (p. 328). This is where the strength of the qualitative research method comes in and on which we would base the investigation..
