Abstract

The purpose of this research was to enhance students’ descriptive text writing abilities through the implementation of the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) at SMP Negeri 48 Surabaya in the academic year 2020/2021. Classroom Action Research (CAR) was used to study 42 students as the research subjects in class 7-B. The instruments used to collect the data were observation and tests. Pre-test results indicated that students performed below the expected level of success; the mean score was 62.88, the lowest score was 50, and the highest score was 84. Only two students (4.76%) passed the test. Then, in the results of post-test cycle I, the number of students who passed the test based on the success criteria remained at 7 students (16.67%). The mean score was 72.76, with 60 being the lowest and 84 being the highest. However, when compared to the pre-test results, significant improvements in the students’ descriptive text writing ability were observed. In cycle II, post-test results indicated that students’ ability to write descriptive texts had improved slightly. The mean score was 85, with 78 being the lowest and 92 being the highest. 34 students passed the test with an 80.95% passing rate. This research was stopped when it met the success criteria. The result of the t-Test was as follows: Paired Two Samples for Means indicated that the researcher could accept the hypothesis in the event that the post-test mean was greater than the pre-test’s mean. It was concluded that students’ writing abilities improved significantly as a result of the PWIM strategy’s implementation toward students’ writing abilities for descriptive texts.

Abstract

This pre-experimental study examines the effectiveness of project-based learning (PBL) on the writing skills of Class 9D students at SMP Negeri 48 Surabaya during the academic year 2022/2023, specifically focusing on procedure text. The goal is to enhance students’ writing abilities, particularly in the area of procedural writing. The study involves a single group of 42 students from Class 9D, selected through convenience sampling. The intervention consists of implementing PBL, where students actively engage in hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and authentic writing tasks related to procedure texts. The intervention period is designated for active student participation in procedure text-based projects. Pre-test and post-test assessments evaluate the impact of PBL on writing skills, considering criteria such as organization, clarity, coherence, and language proficiency. The analysis compares the writing scores from these assessments. The findings aim to provide insights into the effectiveness of PBL in enhancing students’ writing skills within the context of procedure text. Implications of the study suggest that implementing PBL strategies in writing instruction offers significant benefits to students. Authentic tasks and hands-on experiences foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Educators can incorporate PBL into procedure text instruction based on these findings. Integrating PBL strategies into the curriculum enhances students’ writing skills. Providing professional development opportunities assists teachers in designing and implementing effective PBL activities. Further research is needed to explore the long-term effects of PBL on writing skills across different genres and grade levels.
