Abstract

Peer tutoring is a cooperative learning technique that involves students as both tutor and tutee. This technique enables students to enhance their writing abilities through collaborative discourse, feedback, and reflection. Writing remains a major challenge for many tenth grade students at SMAN 1 Pasaman. Based on preliminary observation, students experienced difficulties in generating and organizing ideas, using appropriate verb tenses, and developing coherent narrative texts. In addition, many students were less confident and passive during the writing process, which resulted in writing scores that were still below the Minimum Learning Achievement Criteria (KKTP). Therefore, this study aims to determine how peer tutoring give effect on students' narrative text writing ability at the tenth grade of SMAN 1 Pasaman. The research used a quantitative quasi experimental design with pretest and posttest. The population consisted of tenth grade students and cluster random sampling was applied. Data were collected through a narrative writing test. The findings show that peer tutoring significantly effect for students’ writing ability, as indicated by the increase in the experimental class’s mean score (72.31) compared to the control class (59.92). Statistical analysis using an independent samples t-test also revealed a significant difference between the two groups (sig. 0.002 < 0.05). Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected, indicating that peer tutoring significantly affected students’ writing ability. In conclusion, peer tutoring is more effective than traditional teaching techniques in enhancing students’ writing ability.   Abstrak Peer tutoring merupakan teknik pembelajaran kooperatif yang melibatkan siswa sebagai tutor dan tutee. Teknik ini memungkinkan siswa meningkatkan kemampuan menulis melalui diskusi kolaboratif, umpan balik, dan refleksi. Menulis masih menjadi tantangan utama bagi banyak siswa kelas X di SMAN 1 Pasaman. Berdasarkan observasi awal, siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam menghasilkan dan mengorganisasi ide, menggunakan bentuk waktu (tenses) yang tepat, serta mengembangkan teks naratif yang koheren. Selain itu, banyak siswa kurang percaya diri dan pasif selama proses menulis, sehingga nilai menulis mereka masih berada di bawah Kriteria Ketercapaian Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP). Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh peer tutoring terhadap kemampuan menulis teks naratif siswa kelas X di SMAN 1 Pasaman. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif quasi eksperimen dengan pretest dan posttest. Populasi penelitian terdiri atas siswa kelas X dan teknik cluster random sampling digunakan dalam pengambilan sampel. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes menulis teks naratif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa peer tutoring memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kemampuan menulis siswa, yang ditunjukkan oleh peningkatan nilai rata-rata kelas eksperimen (72,31) dibandingkan dengan kelas kontrol (59,92). Analisis statistik menggunakan independent samples t-test juga menunjukkan adanya perbedaan yang signifikan antara kedua kelompok (sig. 0,002 < 0,05). Dengan demikian, hipotesis alternatif (Ha) diterima dan hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak, yang berarti bahwa peer tutoring berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kemampuan menulis siswa. Kesimpulannya, peer tutoring lebih efektif dibandingkan teknik pengajaran tradisional dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menulis siswa.
