Abstrak

Penelitian tindakan kelas ini bertujuan untuk membantu mengatasi kesulitan siswa dalam menulis melalui penerapan teknik freewriting. Secara khusus, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab dua pertanyaan penelitian: (1) Apakah ada peningkatan kualitas tulisan siswa melalui penerapan teknik freewriting? (2) Bagaimana persepsi siswa terhadap penerapan teknik freewriting? Penelitian ini dilakukan di SMPN 48 Buton pada semester genap tahun ajaran 2023/2024 dengan peserta kelas VIII yang berjumlah 25 orang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dalam dua siklus, dengan tiga langkah dalam setiap siklus: persiapan, pelaksanaan, dan observasi. Tes menulis diterapkan untuk mengumpulkan data tentang kinerja menulis siswa, dan persepsi siswa terhadap penerapan teknik menulis bebas dikumpulkan melalui wawancara. Data dianalisis secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: (1) kualitas tulisan siswa berhasil ditingkatkan dalam dua siklus, dan (2) secara umum, siswa menganggap bahwa kualitas tulisan mereka meningkat karena teknik freewriting tersebut memotivasi juga efektif untuk mengurangi kecemasan menulis mereka.
