Nowadays, students are required to be independent learners, and it becomes more challenging in this pandemic. This research investigated whether or not there is a significant effect of self-editing activity on students’ writing skill for tenth-grade students. This study focused on how self-editing activity for tenth-grade students affects students’ writing quality and limited writing recount text. Experimental quantitative method was used in this study, especially in Post Test Only Control Group Design. Two tenth-grade students in SMA N 2 Amlapura were selected and given different treatments. The experimental group was assigned self-editing activity in their learning process, while the control group was taught using the conventional teaching method. The data were obtained from students’ post-test scores. The quantitative analysis demonstrated a significant effect of self-editing activity on students’ writing recount text. The findings showed that students treated using self-editing activity got better mean scores than the students in the control group. Students were assisted in self-editing activities in their writing class by using correction symbols as their guidance. Also, the effect size calculation verified that the size was medium in online teaching and learning.
