Description
Summary:This study intends to investigate the effectiveness of peer feedback technique in improving students' writing skill in writing narrative texts and to examine the responses of students toward the implementation of peer feedback technique. It employed a quasi experimental design, involving two classes consisting of 60 second graders at one of senior high schools in Bandung. The data were gathered from pretest, posttest and questionnaire. The obtained data were analyzed based on The ESL Composition Profile proposed by Jacob et al (1981). The statistical computation showed that peer feedback technique is likely effective in improving students' writing ability in writing narrative texts (tobt7.560 > tcrit 2.045, r = 0.81). Furthermore, most students tended to respond positively toward the feedback provided by their peer and they considered it helpful for them to write better. In conclusion, peer feedback technique has been proven to be able to improve students' skill in writing narrative text and students' understanding of element within writing especially in organization aspect. However, for the sake of effective peer feedback process, it is also important to pay attention on the intensive training which given to the students before applying the peer feedback technique.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji keefektifan dari teknik umpan balik yang diberikan oleh rekan sebaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan menulis siswa dalam menulis teks naratif dan untuk melihat tanggapan dari siswa terhadap penerapan teknik tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan model quasi-experimental dengan mengikutsertakan 2 (dua) kelas yang terdiri dari 60 siswa kelas dua sekolah menengah atas di Bandung. Data yang terkumpul untuk penelitian ini berasal dari tes awal, tes akhir dan angket. Data tersebut kemudian dianalisis berdasarkan The ESL Composition Profile yang diusulkan oleh Jacob (1981). Perhitungan statistik menunjukkan bahwa teknik umpan balik yang diberikan oleh rekan sebaya cukup efektif untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks naratif (tobt7.560 > tcrit 2.045, r = 0.81). Selanjutnya, mayoritas siswa cenderung memberikan tanggapan positif terhadap umpan balik yang disediakan oleh rekan mereka dan menganggap teknik tersebut membantu mereka untuk menulis dengan lebih baik. Kesimpulannya, teknik umpan balik yang diberikan oleh rekan sebaya sudah terbukti dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks naratif dan pemahaman siswa terhadap elemen yang terdapat dalam teknik menulis khususnya dalam aspek struktur penulisan (organization structure). Bagaimanapun juga, agar proses umpan balik berjalan efektif, sangat penting untuk memperhatikan proses latihan secara intensif yang diberikan kepada siswa sebelum teknik umpan balik tersebut diterapkan.
