Abstract

In English language teaching, project-based learning is not only able to optimize language skills but also other skills such as critical and creative thinking. This study tries to investigate the use of project-based learning to develop students’ abilities and creativity in writing narrative text and the students’ perception towards the implementation of project-based learning in writing course. This study employed a qualitative approach by involving second semester students who take writing course. The results of this study indicated that project-based learning can help the students to develop their ability and creativity in writing narrative text in several point including their understanding of the topic, their knowledge about narrative genre namely social function, structure of text, and language feature. In addition, the students also showed their creativity through creating their story line and designing the illustration of the story. Furthermore, the students gave positive views toward the implementation of project-based learning. They mentioned that they learned networking, collaborative learning, and team work through PBL.

Abstract

Writing in a second or foreign language seems to be the most difficult language skill for language learners to acquire (Laksmi, 2006; Lestari, 2008; Negari, 2011). Some scholars proposed the implementation of SFL – genre based approach in teaching writing (Derewianka, 1990; Rothery, 1996). However, SFL genre based approach seems to be product or teaching outcomes oriented (Ahn, 2012; Emilia, 2011). Therefore, the concept of scaffolding in which possible supports the process of students‟ individual development is important to be emerged in the teaching stages of SFL – GBA (Bodrova Leong, 1998; Mulatsih, 2011). As a result, This study focuses on the issue of scaffoldings in the teaching of writing discussion texts based on SFL – Genre Based Approach. It particularly aims to investigate how scaffolding processes are implemented in the teaching of writing discussion texts based on SFL-GBA and how they improve the students‟ writing performance. The data rely on teaching and learning process in a classroom with six students in a tertiary level as the focus participants. The method used in the data analysis adopted a qualitative design with reference especially to the theory of the scaffolding and SFL-GBA. The results of analysis show that scaffolding processes are implemented in terms of macro and micro scaffoldings and able to improve the students‟ writing performance specifically in terms of social function, schematic structures, and language features of discussion genre. It is recommended that future related research should be conducted in more diverse of educational settings to see how scaffoldings are implemented in a variety of teaching practices.Keywords: scaffolding, discussion texts, SFL, genre-based approach.

Kemampuan berpikir kritis merupakan kemampuan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Mahasiswa sudah ada pada level manusia yang memiliki kemampuan berpikir kritis. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa melalui soal-soal High Order Thingking Skill (HOTS). Penelitian dilaksanakan di IKIP Siliwangi pada mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Matematika angkatan tahun 2019. Materi yang diberikan adalah materi Kuliah Umum bahasa Indonesia yaitu kalimat dan paragraf. Hasil tes terhadap 30 orang sampel mahasiswa menghasilkan data berupa nilai dengan angka tertinggi 96 dan terendah 10. Adapun hasil analisis terhadap kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa, ada 60% mahasiswa yang memperoleh nilai tinggi (rentang 70 – 100) dan 40% mahasiswa memperoleh nilai rendah (0 – 69). Secara umum, kemampuan berpikir kritis yang dimiliki oleh 60% mahasiswa masih belum memenuhi kriteria, yaitu belum mampu mengenal asumsi dan nilai-nilai yang dinyatakan secara implisit serta masih berkendala dalam mengungkapkan tulisan menggunakan Bahasa yang efektif dan memiliki ciri khas. Adapun manfaat dari hasil penelitian ini yaitu dapat dilakukan penelitian lanjutan dengan cara menerapkan suatu metode pembelajaran untuk meningkatkan kemampuan berpikir kritis mahasiswa.Kata kunci: berpikir kritis, High Order Thingking Skill (HOTS) In the process of learning general Indonesian courses, researchers found that there were still many students who received low scores. Low scores are obtained when they are unable to understand test questions at a high level of difficulty, both in the form of multiple-choice questions and in essays. Critical thinking skills are higher-order thinking skills. Students are already at the human level who have critical thinking skills. Therefore, this study aims to describe students' critical thinking skills through the High Order Thinking Skill (HOTS) questions. The research was carried out at IKIP Siliwangi for students of the Mathematics Education Study Program class of 2019. The material provided was Indonesian General Lecture, namely sentences and paragraphs. The test results of 30 student samples produced data in the form of scores with the highest score of 96 and the lowest of 10. As for the results of the analysis of students' critical thinking skills, there were 60% of students obtained high scores (range 70-100), and 40% of students obtained low scores (0 - 69). In general, the critical thinking skills possessed by 60% of students still do not meet the criteria, namely not being able to recognize the assumptions and values that are stated implicitly and still have problems in expressing writing using language that is effective and has distinctive characteristics. The benefits of the results of this study are that further research can be carried out by applying a learning method to improve students' critical thinking skills.Keywords: critical thinking, High Order Thingking Skill (HOTS)
