Abstract

This research aimed to describe students’ writing skills in recount texts before and after the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) and to examine whether PjBL had a significant effect on their writing achievement. Only 5 of 16 students (31%) in Class XI TAB at SMK N 1 Sungai Limau achieved the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 78 in writing recount text, mostly due to teacher-centered instruction and difficulty organizing ideas and applying correct grammar. A pre-experimental method with a One-Group Pre-Test Post-Test design was employed, involving all 16 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected through a writing test on personal experience, independently scored by two raters using an adapted analytic rubric, and analyzed manually. The results showed that students’ writing skill improved from the "Fair" category (pre-test mean = 69.75) to the "Very Good" category (post-test mean = 86.25), a gain of 16.50 points, with Mechanics recording the highest improvement (+1.44). Inter-rater reliability was high (r = 0.918 and r = 0.909). The manually calculated t-test produced t-count = 8.559, exceeding t-table = 2.131 (df = 15, α = 0.05), so H0 was rejected. It is concluded that PjBL had a significant, positive effect on students’ writing skills and is recommended as an effective strategy for teaching recount text writing.
