ABSTRACT

Fatma Indratama. K2211033. ENHANCING STUDENTS‟ SELF-ESTEEM IN

WRITING NARRATIVE TEXT USING COLLABORATIVE LEARNING (An

Action Research at the Tenth Grade of SMA N 7 Surakarta in the Academic Year

2014/2015). First Consultant: Dr. Suparno, M.Pd. Second Consultant: Dra. Dewi

Rochsantiningsih, M.Ed, Ph.D. Thesis. Surakarta. Teacher Training and

Education Faculty. Sebelas Maret University. 2015.

The aim of this action research is to enhance self-esteem in writing

narrative text of the tenth grade of SMA N 7 Surakarta by using Collaborative

Learning. The main subject of this research is the students in XMIA 4 in the

second semester of the study by the academic year of 2014/2015. This study was

done in two cycles and it took three months until the end of cycle two. The data

were obtained from the observation before and during the research, interview with

the students and the English teacher and students‟ writing tests. The data were in

the form of interview transcripts, field notes and students‟ writing scores. The

result of the study shows that collaborative learning can enhance students‟ self-

esteem in writing narrative text. Before the implementation of the method, the

students did not have passion in learning writing. The class was really quite

during the teaching learning process. None of the students asked questions to the

teacher and some students were just chatting with their friends. From the

interview‟s result, the students also admitted that they were not confidence in their

writing competence, they couldn‟t write properly and they have problems in

grammar, content, vocabulary, mechanic and organization. The teacher‟s method

was not really effective in solving students‟ problem. Specifically, it was caused

by the use of lecturing method in teaching students writing. By implementing

collaborative learning in the teaching learning process, the students‟ problem

regarding to their self-esteem in writing was successfully solved. Moreover, this

method was also effective to build conducive learning atmosphere. In detail, the

students‟ behavior during the learning process was analyzed and observed by the

researcher. The improvement of students‟ self-esteem in writing narrative text

could be seen in all aspects of self-esteem (Competence, Self-worth, Success and

Confidence). The number of students who believed they were able to write narrative text

improved from 15% to 96.5%. Then, the number of students who felt they are worth

improved from 67.89% to 87.86%. The number of students who believed that they can

success improved from 60.66% to 94.57% and the last the number of students who felt

confident in their writing also improved from 42% to 89.5%. Besides, the students‟

improvement on their behavior has affected the students writing achievement

related with five writing aspects (content, organization, vocabulary, grammar and

mechanic).

Keywords: collaborative learning method, self-esteem in writing, narrative text
