Writing
is the difficult skill for the students. Nevertheless, it is should be mastered
by Junior High school students. According to the interview and pre-test given
to the students in preliminary study, it was found that the major problems they
faced were how to develop ideas. The teacher also never gave model of how to
write descriptive, because writing activities in class were dominated by
arranging jumble sentences and words. Beside that, her strategy was not
interesting.
To
solve the problem, one of the strategy used in teaching writing is think pair
share. Think pair share is one of cooperative learning methods. This strategy
is used to improve student’s ability in this study. The research problem is How can TPS strategy improve
the descriptive writing ability of the 7 grade students at MTs Darussalam
Aryojeding ?
This
study used collaborative classroom action research following Kemmis & Taggart.
The researcher designed the lesson plans and set the criteria of success. The
research was conducted in two cycles. Each cycle consisted of two meetings
which covered: planning an action, implementing the action, observing the
action, and reflecting on the observation. The subjects were 23 students of
VII-A in MTs Darussalam Aryojeding 2011/2012 academic year. The instruments
used to collect data observation sheet and test of the students. The
criteria of success used in the study are the students’ mean score of writing
at least 70 and 80% of the students score in writing at least 70.
The result of the research showed that TPS
successfully helped in improving the students’ idea in writing descriptive
text. The score of the students’ writing products improve significantly from
preliminary study to Cycle 1 and from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2. The students’ mean
score improved from 56,8 in preliminary study to 58,7 in Cycle 1 and it could
73,69 in Cycle 2. The teacher follow a
particular procedure. 1) the teacher give the goal of the study and motivate
the students before explaining the material. 2) the teacher explain about TPS
method and descriptive text. 3) the teacher asked about the descriptive text. 4) students discuss the material with
their partners. 5) the
teacher calls for pairs or individually to present the material with the rest
of the class.
Based on the result of this study, it is suggested
that the English teacher use method TPS in teaching writing and another kinds
of text types. For the students, it is suggested that they write outline before
write the paragraph, especially in generating and developing ideas in writing
descriptive text.
Moreover,
further researcher are suggested to conduct research using method TPS for different
text type and on different grades and levels of education, to see whether this
method was effective to solve the problems of writing or not.
