Abstract

This study was motivated by the low ability of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 3 Madiun to write simple and compound sentences in personal letters. The study aimed to describe the improvement in this ability through the implementation of the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model. The study employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles with 30 students as the participants. Data were collected through written tests, classroom observations, and documentation, including students' writing products and photographs of classroom activities, and were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative approaches. The results showed that the class mean score increased from 58.3 in the pre-cycle to 70.5 in Cycle I and 82.4 in Cycle II. The percentage of learning mastery also increased from 30% in the pre-cycle to 56.7% in Cycle I and 86.7% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the CTL model is effective in improving students' ability to write simple and compound sentences in personal letters.

Abstract

This study aims to describe the use of environment-based vlog (video blogging) media to enhance the learning motivation and descriptive text writing skills of Grade VII E students at SMP Negeri 3 Madiun. The study was motivated by low learning motivation and students’ limited ability to transform observations into coherent descriptive texts. It employed the Kemmis and McTaggart Classroom Action Research (CAR) model, conducted over two cycles with 31 participants (16 male and 15 female students). Data were collected through observation, learning motivation questionnaires, descriptive text writing performance tests, and documentation, then analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results showed consistent improvement across cycles. In the pre-action stage, only 12 out of 31 students (38.7%) met the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria (KKTP). Following instruction using vlog media in Cycle I, the number of students meeting the criteria rose to 20 (64.5%), and further increased to 26 (83.9%) in Cycle II. The average learning motivation score also improved from 61.4 (moderate category) at the pre-action stage to 84.6 (high category) by the end of Cycle II. These findings indicate that most students gained a better understanding of the structure and linguistic features of descriptive texts and became more skilled at composing them after personally experiencing the processes of observation and vlog production. Thus, environment-based vlog media proved effective as an innovative alternative for teaching descriptive text writing—one that is contextual and relevant to the characteristics of digital-generation students.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low descriptive writing proficiency of seventh-grade students at SMPN 3 Madiun. Preliminary observations revealed that students struggled to develop ideas, select descriptive vocabulary, and construct coherent, engaging paragraphs. The study aimed to improve descriptive writing skills through the use of the RACH method (Nature Recreation and Daily Journaling). It employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted over two cycles. The subjects were 32 seventh-grade students (first semester) at SMPN 3 Madiun. The research process involved planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection techniques included observation, descriptive writing tests, and documentation. Data were analyzed using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive methods. The results indicate that the RACH method effectively improved students' descriptive writing skills. The average score rose from 67.2 in the pre-cycle stage to 75.6 in Cycle I and further to 84.3 in Cycle II. Additionally, students' active participation and learning motivation increased during the learning process. It can be concluded that the RACH method is effective for enhancing the descriptive writing skills of seventh-grade students at SMPN 3 Madiun. This method provides a more tangible, creative, and enjoyable learning experience, thereby helping students express their ideas more easily and systematically.
