Abstract

The educational literature has devoted considerable focus to the pedagogical utility of rubrics in encouraging student learning and facilitating instructor feedback on student performance. However, there is little study on students' usage of self-assessment criteria in a context including a second or foreign language, and even less research has looked into the variables that affect the usefulness of the assessment criteria. The study aimed to investigate (1) how students perceive the rubric's function in evaluating their writing skills.; (2) according to the students, what factors affected the rubric's effectiveness for self-evaluation in the writing class? Forty students of the tenth grade of SMK Kesatrian Purwokerto got involved in this study. The researchers employed a self-assessment rubric and students’ reflective journals to collect the data. The findings of this study were that by helping students to set goals, make plans, keep an eye on themselves, and do reflection, rubrics were beneficial in fostering students' self-learning in writing skills. Rubric factors and users impacted the efficiency of the rubric for learner self-evaluation.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in enhancing the writing skills of grade XI students at SMA Muhammadiyah 1 Purwokerto. The study used a quasi-experimental design with an experimental group taught using PjBL and a control group using Direct Instruction (DI). The sample consisted of 59 students, and data were collected through pre-test and post-test measuring their argumentative writing skills. The results indicated that the experimental group showed a significant improvement in their writing skills, with an average increase of 10.24 points (Δ = 10.24) compared to the control group's 6.13 points (Δ = 6.13). The independent t-test results demonstrated a significant difference between the two groups at the 0.004 level. These findings suggest that PjBL is more effective than DI in enhancing students' writing abilities, fostering creativity, and encouraging critical thinking. The study highlights the importance of implementing innovative, student-centered approaches in writing instruction.

Abstract

This quasi-experimental study investigated the effectiveness of the process–product approach in enhancing the creativity of EFL university students in writing recount texts. The study involved 80 third-semester Islamic Broadcasting Communication (KPI) students selected through cluster sampling, with KPI-D (n = 40) assigned as the experimental group and KPI-E (n = 40) as the control group. Creativity and recount writing performance were measured through pre- and post-tests using an analytical rubric evaluating fluency, originality, elaboration, and organization. The experimental group showed substantial improvement, increasing from M = 63.75 (SD = 7.90) to M = 80.55 (SD = 6.80), while the control group improved from M = 64.50 (SD = 7.35) to M = 73.02 (SD = 6.88). Paired-samples t-tests revealed significant gains in both groups, with the improvement in the experimental group being markedly greater, t(39) = –14.88, p < .001, compared to the control group, t(39) = –7.45, p < .001. An independent-samples t-test further confirmed a significant difference in post-test scores between the groups, t(78) = 8.65, p < .001. Analysis of writing subcomponents revealed that students taught through the process–product approach outperformed their peers in content elaboration, grammar accuracy, vocabulary use, and coherence. These results demonstrate that the process–product approach is highly effective in fostering creativity and improving the overall quality of students’ recount writing.
