Abstract:
The objective of this research was to find out the effect of applying picture word
inductive model (PWIM) on students’ achievement in writing descriptive text.The
method of research was the experimental research method. The population of this
research was taken from the eight grade and the second year students of junior
high school at MTs. Islamiyah Medan Jl.Suluh No. 71 D, Sidorejo Hilir, Medan
Tembung, Medan, Sumatera Utara. at academic 2017/2018 with the total
population were 84 students. The sample consisted of 30 students were taken by
using purposive sampling. The classes were divided into one group, namely
experimental group used in one-group pretest-posttest.Therefore, the research was
taken one class as the experimental class.The experimental group was taught by
applying picture word inductive model (PWIM). The instrument of research was
written test (pretest-postest). The researcher were given treatment by PWIM
strategy. The instrument of collecting data was written test which was given
picture to make a descriptive text as the test items . The data analysis was using Ttest. The result showed that the students mean in teaching descriptive text before
taught applying Picture word inductive model (PWIM) is only 47.5 while the
students mean in teaching descriptive text after the being taught applying picture
word inductive model (PWIM) is 85.5 it was improved. The data were analyzed
by using t-test formula. with the t-test analysis that used by researcher, with the
significant level 0.05. The result of the data showed that t 5.71
> t 2.04 with degree of freedom (df) = N-1 (30-1). The final hypothesis
showed that H was rejected and H was accepted. It proves that Picture Word
Inductive Model (PWIM) significantly effect to the students’ achievement in
writing descriptive text.
