This study focuses on Think-Talk-Write Strategy in teaching descriptive text to improve students’ writing ability. The objectives of this study are (1) to find out the students’ writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW). (2) to find out the students’ writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught without using Think-Talk-Write (TTW). (3) to find out whether or not there was a significant difference of writing ability between the tenth grade students of MAN Demak in academic year 2014/2015 who were taught with Think-Talk-Write (TTW) strategy and without Think-Talk-Write (TTW). The research was Quasi-Experimental research. The subject of the study was the tenth grade students of MAN Demak. Cluster sampling is used in taking the sample. 40 students from class X-5 were selected as the experiment group and 40 students from class X-1 as the control group. The t-test was used to analyze the data. Experiment research was used here to get the data. The pre-test was given to the students on both of groups. After that, the difference treatment was given in experimental group. At the end of the research, the post-test was given to both of groups. The count of the mean score of the experimental class was 79.95 and the count of mean score of the control class was 76.17. It shows that teaching descriptive text by using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Strategy gave better result as indicated significant statistical t-test computation, that the t-table value (t5% = 2.03 and t1% = 2.80) is less than t0 = 13.09 (2.03<13.09>2.80). It could be seen that there is a significant difference in writing ability of the tenth grade students of MAN Demak after being taught using Think-Talk-Write (TTW) Strategy. The researcher offers some suggestions in this research. The school should give good facilities and many strategies for teaching and learning process. For the teacher, the teacher should give variation teaching especially using new techniques and strategies in teaching descriptive text to improve students’ writing ability. For the students, the students have to do more active, confident and creative.

ABSTRACT The filariasis mass drug administration (MDA) program is one of the strategies to eliminate lymphatic filariasis. First round coverage in Kuningan Regency was 85.4%, but only 50% of sub-districts have reached the target. The aim of this research was to determine the improvement of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of health cadres through intervention to increase the filariasis MDA coverage in Kuningan Regency. A quasi-experimental research was conducted in Cibeureum and Cibingbin Sub-District of Kuningan Regency using pretest-posttest design from May to October 2016. Selected subjects of this research were 32 health cadres who were given intervention in the form of workshop utilizing leaflets, handbooks, and video. The difference is treatment group was taught about filariasis related materials by an expert but the control group was not. Data were analyzed with paired t-test. The result showed that there was a significant difference between pre-test and post-test in terms of KAP in both groups with p-value of 0,000, but there was no difference in value between the two groups. Thus, the study concluded that training on cadres with a filariasis expert could be an effective strategy as to increase MDA coverage. Keywords: Intervention, filariasis MDA, knowledge, cadre   ABSTRAK Pemberian Obat Massal Pencegahan (POMP) merupakan salah satu strategi eliminasi filariasis di Indonesia. Hasil cakupan POMP putaran pertama di Kabupaten Kuningan mencapai 85,4% dari total target penduduk, namun hanya 50% kecamatan yang mencapainya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku kader setelah dilakukan intervensi dalam rangka meningkatkan cakupan pengobatan filariasis di Kabupaten Kuningan. Penelitian dilakukan di Kecamatan Cibeureum dan Cibingbin, Kabupaten Kuningan pada bulan Mei - Oktober tahun 2016 dengan eksperimen semu menggunakan desain  pretest-posttest control group. Sampel penelitian adalah 32 kader yang diberi intervensi berupa pelatihan dengan media cetak  dan video. Perbedaan antara kelompok intervensi dengan kontrol adalah bahwa kelompok intervensi diajarkan materi terkait filariasis oleh seorang ahli dan kelompok kontrol tidak diberikan pelatihan. Data dianalisis menggunakan paired t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya perbedaan pada skor nilai pretest-posttest pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku pada masing-masing kedua kelompok dengan hubungan bermakna (p-value 0,000), tetapi tidak terdapat perbedaan nilai pretest-posttest antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol. Hal ini berarti tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol. Kesimpulannya bahwa pelatihan pada kader menggunakan media cetak dan video dengan narasumber pakar filariasis merupakan salah satu strategi efektif untuk meningkatkan cakupan pengobatan POMP filariasis. Kata kunci: Intervensi, POMP, pengetahuan, kader
