Abstract:
This research was intended to investigate The Effect of Using Peer Reviewing
Technique on Students’ achievement in Writing Narrative. Peer reviewing is
referred to as “peer feedback”, which is an assessment form performed by equal
status learners. In “peer review” a student does more than simply editing and
evaluating another student's essay. The objective of this study was to find out the
significant effect of using peer reviewing technique on students’ achievement in
writing. The population of this study was the eleventh grade students of SMA
Swasta AL-FATTAH Medan at academic year 2017/2018. The populations were
56 students which distributed in two classes XI-IPA and XI-IPS. The sample was
divided into two groups : XI-IPA as experimental class taught by using Peer
Reviewing Technique and XI-IPS as control class taught without technique. The
study was conducted by using an experimental research design. Each group was
given a pre-test, treatment, and post-test. This data were acquired by
administrating an written test which was given in pre-test and post-test. The data
was analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the analysis showed that t-test
was higher than t-table (4.61 > 1.67) with the level significant 0.05% and the
degree of freedom (df) = 54. The finding showed that the students’ achievement in
writing narrative by using Peer Reviewing technique was more significant than
those without using Peer Reviewing technique. So, hypothesis of study is
