Abstract:
This study was aimed to find out improvement the students’ writing skills on
descriptive text through quantum learning method. This study applied classroom
action research. It was done through planning, action research. The location of the
research was SMP Negeri 1 Batang Kuis, Jl. Desa Baru Batang Kuis. The subject
of this research was seventh grade students which consisted of 31 students. Based
on the writing description text through quantum learning score, students’ score
keep improving in every test. In the pretest the mean score was 54.67, in the first
cycle test the mean 67.51, and the second cycle the test mean score was 75. The
improvement also can be seen from the percentage students got point more than
70. In the first cycle writing test, in pretest 3.2% students got point more than 70,
in the first cycle test 38.7% students who got point more than 70, and the
increasing was 35.5% from pretest to cycle 1. In the second cycle test 87%
students got point more than 70, and the increasing was 48.3% from cycle 1 and 2.
It means that teaching writing on descriptive text through quantum learning by
using picture and music can improved the students’ writing skills through
quantum learning method. Picture and music made students’ were interested, have
fun, and motivate them to write through quantum learning.
