BLOG MANAGEMENT THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE ACTION RESEARCH APPROACH TO IMPROVE STUDENT'S WRITING SKILLS
Abstract
Blog di internet seharusnya sangat bermanfaat dalam meningkatkan keterampilan menulis siswa. Dalam membuat blog yang memikat, perlu diisi dengan artikel yang bermanfaat dan mengundang orang untuk berkomentar dan berpartisipasi di dalamnya. Blog yang baik dapat mengarahkan siswa tidak hanya untuk membuat informasi baru dan mencari informasi di internet; tetapi juga dapat menjadi media bagi siswa untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulisnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis siswa melalui pengelolaan kolaboratif blog di internet. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kolaboratif. Jumlah siswa yang terlibat dalam penelitian ini adalah 236 orang dengan empat guru. Proses pembelajaran dilaksanakan dalam 4 siklus dari tanggal 1 September 2020 hingga 21 Juni 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan menulis siswa meningkat dengan memberikan motivasi secara terbuka dan latihan menulis berkelanjutan di blog siswa yang dikelola dengan baik. Dalam penelitian tindakan kolaboratif ini, guru merencanakan tindakan korektif untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis siswa melalui manajemen blog dengan memposting tugas di blog dan mendapatkan komentar dari guru dan siswa lainnya. Guru memberikan contoh menulis yang baik di blog dan memberikan komentar positif di blog siswa untuk memberikan siswa intens di mana tulisan mereka dihargai. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa untuk meningkatkan keterampilan menulis, siswa dapat diarahkan untuk mengelola blog secara kolaboratif dan menggunakan blog sebagai media pembelajaran. Motivasi guru sangat penting.
