ABSTRACT
Ariningsih, Diana. 2013. Applying Quantum Writing to Enhance Writing Recount
Text of Eighth Grade Students of SMP 3 Jekulo in Academic Year
2012/2013. English Education Department, Teacher Training and
Education Faculty, Muria Kudus University. Advisor: (1) Titis
Sulistyowati, S.Pd, M.Pd.. (2) Drs. Muh. Syafei, M.Pd.
Key words: Writing Skill, Recount Text, Quantum Writing
Writing is one of the skills which must be taught to Junior High School
students as one of the teaching and learning activities in English class.
Commonly, in junior high school students have dificulties to write. Most of the
students felt that writing is boring because process of writing consuming time.
Because of that, teacher must use method or technique that is apropiate to improve
writing ability of the students.
The teacher must apply some of techniques to develop the material and
make them more active and interest in class. Quantum writing is one of the
alternative techniques that can be used in teaching English. In this research, the
writer uses Quantum Writing as a teaching technique in teaching English. The
purpose of this research is to improve writing ability for the seventh grade
students of SMP 3 Jekulo in the academic Year 2012/2013.
The Quantum Writing design frame beginning from Enrol, Experience,
Demonstrate, Review and Reflect, and Celebrate. The teacher will try to motivate
the students by having them shout yell-yell together before starting the learning
activity to influence their subconscious mind and make them enthusiastic.
The teacher will also have to draw their attention to the material by sharing
a common experience and using interesting pictures as well as playing music.
Then she can turn the students’ attention to the material subconsciously.
Subsequently the writer will have the students experience directly the learning.
The students learn the model of recount text and learn how to make it.
The writer conducted a classroom action research to solve the research
problem. The research is conducted in SMP 3 Jekulo in the academic year
2012/2013, especially in the eighth grade students of VII B. The number of
student in this research is 26 students. The writer uses Recount text as object the
research.
The average score percentage of the students’ writing ability in cycle I is
72.69%. In this cycle, some of the students still shy to shout yell-yell together and
still difficult to understand the material. So, the teacher and the writer continue to
the next cycle. In cycle II, the average score percentage of the students’ writing
skill in descriptive text is 80.26%. So, there is an increasing of the average score
percentage of the students’ writing ability in every cycle. Besides, the students
and teacher’s activity are improved and the problem that faced by the teacher
decreased in every cycle.

The students enjoyed doing discussion by using Quantum Writing
technique that makes them easier to produce descriptive text. They become more
enthusiastic in the class discussion. They could explore their ideas freely when
they make sentences. The writer can conclude that the use of Quantum Writing
technique can improve students’ writing ability at the Eighth Grade Students of
SMP 3 Jekuo in the academic 2012/2013.
Thus, the writer suggests that a teacher must be creative, active, and give
support to the students in learning process using this technique.

ABSTRAKSI
Ariningsih, Diana. 2013. Meningkatkan Kemampuan Menulis teks recount
Menggunakan Tekhnik Quantum Writing pada Murid Kelas VII dari
SMP 3 Jekulo Tahun Ajaran 2012/2013. Skripsi: Program Studi
Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan,
Universitas Muria Kudus. Pembimbing: (1) Titis Sulistyowati, S.Pd,
M.Pd.. (2) Drs. Muh. Syafei, M.Pd.
Kata kunci: kemampuan menulis, teks recount, Quantum Writing.
Menulis adalah salah satu ketrampilan yang harus diajarkan di Sekolah
Menengah Pertama (SMP) sebagai salah satu kegiatan belajar mengajar di kelas
Umumnya, siswa SMP mengalami kesulitan dalam menulis. Kebanyakan para
siswa merasa bahwa menulis membosankan karena menghabiskan waktu. Maka
dari itu, guru harus menggunakan metode atau teknik yang tepat untuk
meningkatkan pemahaman membaca bagi siswa
Sebagai seorang guru harus menerapkan berbagai tehnik untuk
mengembangkan materi dan membuat siswa lebih aktif dan tertarik di kelas.
Teknik Quantum Writing adalah salah satu alternatif tehnik di pengajaran bahasa
Inggris. Di penelitian ini, penulis menggunakan Quantum writing sebagai tehnik
pengajaran bahasa Inggris, Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan
kemampuan menulis untuk siswa VII SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus tahun 2012/2013.
Desain dari metode Quantum Writing ini dimulai dari Enrol (tumbuhkan
minat), Experience (alami), Demonstrate (mendemonstrasikan), Review (ulangi),
dan Celebrate (rayakan). Guru akan mencoba untuk memotivasi siswa dengan
cara meneriakkan yel-yel bersama-sama sebelum proses pembelajaran dimulai,
untuk meningkatkan pikiran sadarnya dan membuat mereka lebih antusias.
Sehingga siswa dapat mempelajari recount teks dan belajar bagaimana
membuatnya.
Guru juga akan menarik perhatian mereka pada materi dengan cara
berdiskusi tentang pengalaman umum dan menggunakan gambar serta memainkan
music. Sehingga guru mendapatkan perhatian siswa untuk mempelajari materi
secara sadar. Serta guru akan mengetahui pengalaman siswa secara langsung
dalam proses pembelajaran.
Penulis melakukan penelitian tindakan kelas untuk SMP 3 Jekulo tahun
akademik 2012/2013, khususnya di kelas VII B. Jumlah siswa dalam penelitian
ini adalah 26 siswa. Peneliti menggunakan teks Recount sebagai objek penelitian.
Nilai persentasi rata-rata kemampuan menulis di siklus I adalah 72.69%. Di
siklus ini, beberapa dari siswa masih malu untuk meneriakkan yel-yel bersama
dan masih mengalami kesulitan untuk memahami materi. Jadi, guru memutuskan
untuk melanjutkan ke siklus berikutnya. Di siklus kedua, nilai presentasi rata-rata
kemampuan menulis di deskripsi teks siklus II adalah 80.26%. Jadi, ada
peningkatan nilai presentasi rata-rata kemampuan menulis disetiap siklus.
12
Disamping itu, kegiatan siswa dan guru meningkat dan masalah yang dihadapi
oleh murid menurun dalam setiap siklus.
Dengan Quantum Writing para siswa senang melakukan mengarang dan
mempermudah mereka untuk membuat teks. Mereka dapat menjabarkan ide
mereka dengan bebas ketika mereka mengarang. Penulis dapat menyimpulkan
bahwa penggunaan Quantum Writing dapat meningkatkan kemampuan menulis
siswa kelas VII B SMP 3 Jekulo Kudus tahun akademik 2012/2013.
Dengan demikian, penulis menyarankan, seorang guru harus kreatif, aktif,
memberikan motivasi dan mendukung siswa di dalam proses belajar
menggunakan tehnik ini.
