Modifying Metacognitive Strategy Instruction Based CALLA For Writing Class In Relation To Students Level Of Critical Thinking
Abstract
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginvestigasi pengaruh modifikasi CALLA pada prestasi menulis siswa dan strategi metakognisi, pengaruh level berfikir kritis siswa pada prestasi menulis mereka, dan proses implementasi modifikasi CALLA di dalam kelas bahasa. Penelitian ini menggunakan one?group pretest?posttest design. Ada empat instrument: Tes Potensi Akademik (TPA), Kuesioner MSUW, Tes Menulis, dan observasi. Data dianalisis menggunakan Repeated Measures T-test. One Way Anova digunakan untuk melihat pengaruh level berfikir kritis siswa. Temuan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan secara statistik kenaikan signifikan baik di prestasi menulis siswa dan penggunaan strategi metakognisi mereka. Sedangkan berkaitan dengan pengaruh level brfikir kritis siswa terhadap prestasi menulis mereka, temuan dari penelitian ini mengindikasikan secara statistik tidak ada dampak signifikan dari level berfikir kritis siswa pada pestasi menulis siswa. Selanjutnya, dari lembar observasi, proses belajar dan mengajar melalui modifikasi CALLA berjalan dengan baik seperti yang diharapkan oleh peneliti.
This study aims at investigating the effect of modified CALLA on students writing achievement and metacognitive strategies, the effect of students critical thinking level on their writing achievement, and the process of implementing modified CALLA in the language classroom. This research used one?group pretest?posttest design. There were four instruments: Academic Potency Test (APT), Metacognitive Strategy Use in Writing (MSUW), Writing Test, and observation. The data were calculated using Repeated Measures T-test. One Way Anova was used to see the effect of students critical thinking level. The finding showed the increase both in writing achievement and metacognitive strategies uses. Meanwhile related to the effect of students critical thinking level, the finding indicated statistically no significant impact of the students critical thinking level on their writing achievement. Furthermore, from the observation sheet, the teaching and learning process through modified CALLA run well as expected by the researcher.
