Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in improving the writing skills of tenth-grade students at SMKN 2 Kuripan, specifically in composing exposition texts. Using a pre-experimental one group pretest and posttest design, the research involved 31 students from class X DPIB 1 in the 2022/2023 academic year. Writing tests, administered as pretest and posttest, served as the primary data collection instruments. The results, analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including a paired sample t-test, showed a significant improvement in students’ writing skills. The mean score increased from 59.65 in the pretest to 74.35 in the posttest, with notable enhancements in content, organization, language use/grammar, and mechanics. The hypothesis test confirmed the effect of PBL, as evidence by a p-value < 0.05, indicating its significant impact on students’ ability to produce well-structured and coherent exposition texts. This study concluded that PBL not only improves students’ critical thinking and collaboration but also enhances motivation and engagement in learning. The null hypothesis was rejected, affirming that PBL positively influences students’ writing skills.

Abstract

At SMAN 2 Pujut, initial observations revealed that students in Grade XI MIPA had difficulty in organizing ideas, applying appropriate language features, and understanding the structure of specific text types—especially expository texts. This highlights the need for a more systematic approach to writing instruction that not only focuses on grammar but also introduces students to text organization and genre awareness. This study aims to investigate the effect of using the Genre-Based Approach (GBA) in teaching writing to Grade XI MIPA students at SMAN 2 Pujut. GBA is a pedagogical model that focuses on understanding text structures based on specific genres and the social context of the texts. Using a pre-experimental method with a one-group pre-test and post-test design, 25 students were assessed before and after a GBA-based writing intervention. Although there was an increase in the students’ average writing scores, statistical analysis using a paired t-test (p = 0.22 > 0.05) showed no significant improvement. Despite this, GBA positively contributed to students’ organization and clarity in writing. It is recommended that future studies incorporate more varied strategies and address motivational and environmental factors.
