one from academic point of view. The students at intermediate level need to practice expository essay writing to be able to write fluently in their university stage ahead. The study investigated the effects of conceptmapping strategy on expository writing skill of the students atintermediate level. The study was experimental in nature with pretestposttest control group design. To this end, forty students fromGovernment Girls Higher Secondary School from Intermediate Part IIwere selected as an average sample after their Proficiency in EnglishLanguage Test (PET). They were divided into two equivalent groupsafter pretest. The concept mapping treatment was given to theexperimental group for six weeks. They composed 10 expository essaysfollowing concept mapping strategy for each essay. The control groupwas taught in a conventional way. Pretest-Posttest score difference ofwriting achievement of control and experimental groups revealedsignificant difference. It was observed that the he treatment group wrotemore organized, extensive, comprehensive and rich essays than thosewritten by students of control group. The findings suggest that conceptmapping is a practical tool in prompting expository writing skill of thestudents at intermediate level in Pakistani perspective.

This study aims to determine the effect of students' writing skills on English subjects using the 'What Missing' method. This study used a quasi-experimental research method with the research design of Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population subjects in this study were 6 th grade students of Kampung Melayu 1 Elementary School 1 Tangerang Regency. Data collection techniques using question instruments test essay writing skills To test the pretest hypothesis in this study used the t test, from the results of the t test obtained obtained t count = -0.3 <t table = 2.00. Whereas for testing the posttest hypothesis from the results of the t test it is obtained thitung = 6.06> t table = 2.00, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect between the posttest value of the control class and the experimental class. This can be interpreted that the use of the What’s Missing method is very influential on students' English writing skills.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to determine the effect of booklet-based on PQ4R learning method. Using quasi experimental method, as well as nonequivalent control group design, this study employed students of grade X as the samples (Grade XA as the control group and grade XB as the experiment group). They were selected by using purposive sampling technique. The data collection tools used were essay and interview. While the data collection technique employed were measurement and direct communication. The study revealed that the average posttest score of the experiment group was 83,68, while the average posttest score of the experiment group was 83,68. Hence the experiment group was distributively considered normal. The homogeneity test indicated that both groups were homogenous (sig value 0,0522>0,05). However, the hypothetical test of t independent sample with α=0,05 discovered T account of 2,960>560. This value indicated that there was a significant difference of students’ learning achievement by using booklet based PQ4R method and lecturing method in chemical bonding class at grade X of SMA Negeri 1 Pengkadan. The result of effect size value was 0,81 which entailed the highest level of the effect (28,20%).Keywords: Booklet, Learning achievement, Chemical bonding, Method of Preview, Question,Read, Reflection, Recite and Review (PQ4R)

Kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematis merupakan salah satu kemampuan yang harus dimiliki oleh siswa. Hal ini dikarenakan suatu konsep yang dipahami akan mengantarkan siswa pada proses pembelajaran yang bermakna. Namun berdasarkan beberapa hasil penelitian yang pernah dilakukan oleh peneliti lainnya menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematis siswa masih rendah. Salah satu upaya untuk meningkatkan kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematis adalah dengan menerapkan metode pembelajaran guided inquiry pada proses pembelajaran. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah rata-rata peningkatan kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematis antara siswa yang menggunakan metode pembelajaran guided inquiry lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa yang menggunakan metode pembelajaran secara konvensional. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah kuasi eksperimen dengan tipe penelitian non equivalent control group design. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah siswa kelas VIII C - VIII I SMP Negeri 16 Kota Tangerang Selatan. Adapun sampel yang digunakan adalah kelas VIII C sebagai kelas eksperimen dan VIII F sebagai kelas kontrol dengan banyak siswa ada 37 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan cluster sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan berupa tes tertulis berbentuk essai. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan tes, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Pengujian hipotesis dengan uji parametrik (uji t equivalent). Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa besarnya rata-rata peningkatan antara siswa yang menggunakan metode pembelajaran guided inquiry lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan siswa yang menggunakan metode pembelajaran secara konvensional. Kata Kunci: kemampuan pemahaman konsep matematis, metode pembelajaran guided inquiry, kuasi eksperimen. ABSTRACT The ability of understanding mathematical concepts is one of the abilities that must be possessed by students. This is because a concept that is understood will lead the students to a meaningful learning process. However, based on some research results that have been done by other researchers show that the ability to understand the mathematical concepts of students is still low. One effort to improve the ability of understanding mathematical concepts is to apply guided inquiry learning method in the learning process. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the average increase in the ability of understanding of mathematical concepts between students using guided inquiry learning method is higher than students using conventional learning methods. The type of research used is quasi experiment with non equivalent type control group design research. The population in this study is the students of class VIII C - VIII I SMP Negeri 16 City Tangerang Selatan. The sample used is class VIII C as experimental class and VIII F as control class with many students there are 37 people. The sampling technique uses cluster sampling. The instrument used is essay writing essay writing. Data collection techniques use tests, observations, and documentation. Hypothesis testing with parametric test (t test equivalent). The results of this study indicate that the magnitude of the average increase between students using guided inquiry learning method is higher compared with students using conventional learning methods. Keywords: Understanding of mathematical concepts, guided inquiry learning methods, quasi experiments.

Lack of student interest in writing essays, this happens because teachers in learning do not use innovative learning models, and learning media that interest students. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the use of Think Talk Write (TTW) learning models assisted by monopolistic media on simple essay writing skills of third-grade elementary school students. This type of research is quasi-experimental (quasi-experimental) with a non-equivalent post-test only control group design. The study population was all grade III in elementary school. The research sample was taken using a random sampling technique, with a total of 59 people. Data collection instruments used in this study were simple essay writing skills instruments, then analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (t-test). Based on the results of the t-test analysis, the t-count was 11.457. While the table with db = 57 and a significance level of 5% is 2.002. This shows that t-count is greater than t-table (t-count> t-table) with the conclusion that the Think Talk Write (TTW) learning model assisted by monopoly media has a positive effect on writing skills in simple essays. The existence of this research helps teachers to enrich references to models and instructional media that can be used.
