THE USE OF VIDEO MEDIA IN IMPROVING STUDENT WRITING ABILITY ON PROCEDURE TEXT

Abstract

This research investigates the impact of using video media on students' writing abilities in procedural texts, driven by the challenges students face in the writing aspect, especially in procedural texts, as well as the potential benefits of integrating video as a teaching tool. This study involved two classes with different teaching methods: an experimental class that received video-based teaching and a control class with traditional methods. With a quantitative approach and quasi-experimental design, the results of statistical analysis, including the Mann-Whitney U test, showed a significant improvement in the writing ability of the experimental group, with higher post-test scores and a large N-Gain percentage. The control group also improved, although to a lesser extent. The Mann-Whitney test confirms the effectiveness of video media in improving students' writing skills. The practical implications of this research include the development of interesting video materials, teacher training regarding video integration, collaboration between educators, coaching individual students, and the potential for further research, presenting a positive picture regarding the benefits of implementing video media in the context of teaching procedural texts.
