Abstract: Literacy skill is an individual's ability to access, understand, and organize information that he or she
has to be used in various activities in his or her life. By having good literacy skill, a student is
expected to maximize the development of critical, creative, and social-empathy skills as well as
knowledge affection. Therefore, the School Literacy Movement (GLS) program appears to help
expedite the development of the students' literacy skill. In economic learning, students are required
to have broad knowledge. Therefore, GLS is expected to have a positive impact on students so that
they can understand the lesson better. The purpose of this study was to determine the benefits of the
GLS program in learning the economics of students of SMAN 2 Lubuk Pakam. To answer that
question, the researcher used qualitative research methodology. The results of this study indicate that
GLS provides several positive impacts namely increasing students' insight, making students more
receptive to the subject matter, and making students more confident in expressing opinions. |
