Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of using the Picture
Word Inductive Model (PWIM) on the students' achievement in writing. This
research was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah 05 Medan, Jl. BromoGg. Aman
No. 38 Medan Denai. The population in this study were students of class VIII
consisting of two classes, namely class VIII A and class VIII B with a total of 60
students. The sample of this study consisted of 30 students taken by using
purposive sampling. Classes are divided into one group, namely the experimental
group used in one group pretest-posttest. The experimental group was taught
using the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM). The research instrument was a
written test (pretest-posttest). The results showed that the average value of
students before using the Picture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) was 58.4 and
after using the Pictture Word Inductive Model (PWIM) the average value of
students increased to 82.5. After collecting data using the T-test formula and
significance level = 0.05. The result shows that the tobserve is 8.22 and the ttable is
1.70 with degree of freedom (df) = N-2 (30-2) = 28. The fact showed that tobserve
was higher than ttable or in other words Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. The
difficulty of students in writing descriptive text Using Picture Word Inductive
Model (PWIM) is the low vocabulary students have so that students find it
difficult to express objects that they find based on the pictures given by
researchers and many students who don't have a dictionary . This causes students
to often ask researchers, the English of the vocabulary they find. It can be
concluded that there was a significant effect of using Picture Word Inductive
Model (PWIM) on the students' achievement in writing
