PENINGKATAN KETERAMPILAN MENULIS PUISI DENGAN METODE SQ3R PADA SISWA KELAS X SMAN 3 JEMBER

Abstract

This study aimed to improve the poetry writing skills of Class X-1 students at SMA Negeri 3 Jember through the application of the SQ3R method (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review). The study was motivated by students’ difficulties in expressing ideas, thoughts, and feelings into complete and meaningful poems, as well as their limited mastery of poetry-building elements. This Classroom Action Research adapted the Kemmis and McTaggart model and was conducted in two cycles involving 36 students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, poetry writing tests, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. The SQ3R method was implemented through the survey stage to observe poetry examples, question to formulate guiding questions, read to enrich diction and language-style references, recite to develop poetry drafts, and review to revise the poems. The results showed that the class average score increased from 77.06 in Cycle I to 88.33 in Cycle II, while classical mastery increased from 52.78% to 83.33%. The N-Gain score of 0.49 indicated a moderate improvement. Seven of eight assessed poetry aspects also improved, particularly diction and rhyme/rhythm. Therefore, the SQ3R method was effective in improving students’ poetry writing skills.
