Abstract


Penelitian saat ini adalah mengetahui pengaruh berbagai jenis umpan balik terhadap kualitas menulis siswa. Penelitian quasi eksperimen yang digunakan adalah one group pre-test post-test design. Subjek penelitian adalah 108 siswa yang diambil dari tiga kelas. Data dianalisis oleh SPSS. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ada peningkatan dalam tulisan siswa dengan menggunakan umpan balik guru, teman sebaya dan koreksi diri tetapi umpan balik korektif teman memberikan peningkatan yang lebih efektif daripada yang lain. Para siswa kebanyakan berfokus pada makna bukan bentuk. Selain poin-poin ini, umpan balik rekan mendorong siswa untuk menulis teks bermakna berbasis pembaca. Oleh karena itu, ini menyarankan bahwa para guru perlu waspada, dan bereksperimen dengan berbagai umpan balik dan strategi koreksi kesalahan yang sesuai untuk berbagai tingkat dan siswa

The current research was to find out the effect of different types of feedback on the students' writing quality. The quasi-experimental research used is one group pre-test post-test design. The subject was 108 students taken from three classes. The data were analyzed by SPSS. The result showed that there is an improvement in the students’ writing by using teacher, peer and self-corrective feedback, but peer corrective feedback gives more effective improvement than the others. The students mostly focused on meaning not form. Besides these points, peer feedback encouraged the students to write reader-based meaningful texts. Therefore, this suggested that the teachers need to be aware and do the experiment with a wider range of feedback and error-correction strategies which are appropriate for different levels and students.

Keywords: Corrective feedback, quality, writing.
