The Effect of Applying PWIM (Picture Word Inductive Model) Strategy on the Students’ Achievement in Writing Procedure

Abstract

This study was attempted to investigate teaching writing by using Picture Word Inductive Model Strategy. The objective of this research was to find out the significance effect of applying picture word inductive model (PWIM) strategy on students’ achievement in writing procedure text. The method used in this study was an experimental research. This research had been conducted at SMP PAB 2 HELVETIA, Jl. Veteran Pasar IV Helvetia, Medan Kabupaten Deli Serdang North Sumatera Indonesia. The population of this research were the ninth grade class in academic years 2016/2017 which consisted of 7 classes, 266 students. The researcher took 2 classes as te sample of research by using cluster random sampling, IX 6 was as the control class consisted of 30 students and IX 7 was as the experimental class which involved 30 students. Each class was given a pretest, treatment, and post-test. The control class was taught by using traditional method mean while the experimental class was treated by using by PWIM strategy. The instrument of the research was an written test. The data were analyzed by using t-test. formula implemented to find out the tobserved value of both groups as the basis to test hypothesis of this research. The result of this research showed that the tobserved value was greater than the t-table in which tobserved was 15 and ttable 2.00. it shows that tobserved> ttable (15 > 2.00). The hypothesis was accepted. It means that there was any significant effect of applying PWIM strategy on students achievement in writing procedure text.
