Abstract:

Books play a crucial role in students’ learning, serving as both educational tools and sources of inspiration. They provide valuable support in academic studies, helping students develop comprehension and analytical skills. However, barriers such as limited access to diverse reading materials can hinder students' interest in reading, affecting their learning outcomes. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of traditional and comic-based methods in teaching Noli Me Tangere to students. The research involved forty-two (42) public school students, with data collected and analyzed through comparative methods. The findings revealed that the Noli Me Tangere comic method resulted in a three percent higher score compared to the traditional method. However, the difference between the two approaches was minimal, indicating that both methods were equally effective in facilitating students' understanding of the novel. This suggests that teachers can utilize either traditional or comicized materials in teaching Noli Me Tangere without significantly affecting student learning outcomes. The study highlights the importance of providing diverse instructional materials to cater to different learning preferences, ensuring that students remain engaged and motivated in their literary studies.
