Abstract:
The population of this research are taken from eight grade students of academic years 20192020 of SMP BAKTI – II MEDAN Jalan Keladi no.61 Kelurahan Tanjung Mulia Hilir Kecamatan Medan Deli Kota Medan, which consists of three classes with 91 students. The samples of this studies is VIII-1 and VIII-2. The research design would be conducted an experimental and control group design. The control class was treatmented is taught by convensional learning, the experiment class treatment is taught by genius learning strategy.
The data collections are taken by the writing test, which is given to experimental and control group. The test in this research was to know whether the treatment giving effect or not on the students’ ability in writing The procedures of the technique of analyzing data are: (1) Collecting the students’ score in control and experiment. Students are given an initial test in the form of a test that is capable of writing narratives. Then after being given treatment by the genius learning strategy, then students were again given a test to measure their narrative writing ability. (2) Tabulating the students’ score in control and experimental group the test results are then checked and given a value. The value is given in accordance with the assessment instrument. Then the value obtained from the test is entered into a table for analysis using the formula. (3) Providing the hypothesis of the research. The Finding of research showed there was a very significant effectiveness between genius learning strategies on the ability to write narratives by students of SMP BAKTI-II MEDAN.
Evident from the average value at the time of the control average value was 57.57 and the experiment average value was 68.20.
