Review of Previous Studies

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter contains three main sub-chapters. The first is review of previous studies presenting some similar studies have been conducted before. The second part is theoretical background which deals with all review of theories related to the study. The last is framework of the present study containing literature that will be used along the study.

2.3 Review of Previous Studies

First, Tan in the journal of Using Cooperative Learning to Integrate Thinking and Information Technology in a Content-Based Writing Lesson 1999 states that “cooperative learning can be defined as a range of concepts and techniques for enhancing the value of student- student interaction.” He also states that, “thinking skills and creativity are promoted when students interact with their peer brainstorm, explain, question, disagree, persuade and problem- solve” http:iteslj.orgTechniquesTan-Cooperative.html. Second, Purnomowati 2010 conducted the research about Improving the Ability in Writing Hortatory Exposition Texts through a Group Discussion for Grade XI Students of Senior High School An Experimental Research of Grade XI Students of SMA Negeri 3 Demak in the Academic Year of 20082009 . This final project was a quantitative research purposed to prove it was effective to use group 11 discussion in writing hortatory exposition texts. The data showed that the score of experimental group was significantly higher than the control group. The experimental group score was better than the control group one. It meant that teaching learning process by using group discussion can improv e the students‟ ability in writing hortatory exposition texts. Third, the final project of Aini 2010 entitled The Use of Peer Editing Technique to Improve Students’ Skill in Writing A Hortatory Exposition Text to Eleventh Year Students of SMA Negeri 1 Cepiring in the Academic Year of 20092010 . It was a qualitative research aimed to know whether peer editing technique can be used to improve students‟ achievement in writing a hortatory exposition text. Conducting the study, the researcher found out that peer editing technique can be applied to improve students‟ achievement in writing a hortatory exposition text. From the three studies above, we can conclude that cooperative learning is one of the proper teaching strategies that can be used to teach writing skill. By using cooperative learning, students can share and explore their ideas in their groups. As we know that students should present their arguments about certain topics in hortatory exposition text. By applying this strategy students will be more active because they are given more opportunities to interact in their groups than in whole class. If they can explore their ideas, it will make them easier to write hortatory exposition text properly. Therefore, in this study I conduct the research about “Exploring Students‟ Ideas in Writing Hortatory Exposition Text through One Stay Three Stray Strategy”. The differences of my research and the other researchers are the object of the study and the strategy used in my research.
