Abstract

This study was motivated by the low procedural writing skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri Satu Atap 5 Dusun Selatan, which were influenced by conventional learning methods that did not actively engage students. This study aimed to (1) improve the quality of the procedural writing learning process through cooperative learning methods and (2) improve students' procedural writing skills. The research used a classroom action research (CAR) design with 17 students (8 male, 9 female) as subjects and was conducted in two cycles through the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection collaboratively with Indonesian language teachers. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, and interviews, and supported by assessments of students' writing. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative descriptive methods supported by quantitative data. The results showed an increase in procedural text writing skills from the pre-cycle (score 40–58; mastery 0%), cycle I (score 59–78; mastery 35%), to cycle II (score 72–85; mastery 100%). These findings indicate that cooperative learning can increase student engagement and the quality of procedural text writing.

Abstract

This research is motivated by low interest and suboptimal speech writing skills among eighth-grade students at Cinta Kasih Tzu Chi Cengkareng Junior High School, caused by conventional methods that neglect the writing process. This study aims to improve students' interest and speech writing skills through an LMS-assisted process approach. Utilizing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design over two cycles, the study involved 32 grade VIII students. Data were collected via observations, interviews, questionnaires, written tests, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively. The results showed a significant increase in student mastery, rising from 9.375% in the pre-intervention stage to 15.625% in Cycle I, and peaking at 100% in Cycle II, with scores ranging from 75 to 95. The integration of the process approach and LMS created an interactive environment that enhanced active participation and focus. The study concludes that an LMS-assisted process approach can support the improvement of students' speech writing skills when digital learning is integrated with structured writing stages, teacher guidance, peer feedback, and revision.
