The research is intended to: (1) describe whether or not and to what extent
Round table technique can enhance the students’ ability in generating ideas to
write recount text; and (2) identify the class climate when Round table technique is
implemented in the writing class.
This action research was carried out at SMPN 2 Banjarnegara for the students
of class 8 E in the academic year of 2015/2016. It was held from March – August
2016. The research method was Classroom Action Research and it was conducted
in two cycles. In collecting the data, I used interviews, observation, questionnaire,
diaries, document, and test. Having collected the data, I analyzed them both
qualitative and quantitative data. The qualitative data were analyzed by using
Constant Comparative Method. Meanwhile, the quantitative data were analyzed by
descriptive statistics.
The finding of the research showed that the implementation of Round Table
Technique enhanced: (1) students’ ability in generating ideas including: (a)
writing main ideas; (b) writing more supporting ideas; (c) using correct cohesive
devices; (d) using correct vocabularies; (e) using correct mechanics. The
enhancement of the students’ scores could be proved that the mean score of the
pre-test was 50.93; the post-test 1 was 64.63; the post-test 2 was 79.23. Twenty
eight students or 82.35% from 32 students had fulfilled the criteria of passing
grade (KKM) which was 78 and (2) enhanced the class climate including: (a)
students’ attention to the teaching and learning process was getting better; (b)
students got more alive condition; (c) the students’ participation was more active;
(d) the time needed to write a text was shorter than before the research was
conducted.
Considering the inspiring result of this research, it is recommended that the
English teachers are able to use this research for: (1) guiding the students to
explore the students’ ideas through Round table technique; and (2) being creative
to make the class climate interesting by using Round table technique in writing.
