requirement in this research that was 70 of the total Class VIII D students got score 70 or more. In conclusion, the result of the actions showed that the use of
realia could improve the students’ achievement in writing descriptive text. Therefore, the cycle was stopped.
2.2.3 The Result of Reflection in Cycle 2
The reflection of cycle 2 was held after the observation results in Meeting I and Meetin
g II of cycle 2 and also the students’ results of writing achievement test in Meeting III of cycle 2 were revealed. In cycle 2, t
he reflection was started by reviewing the observations’ results in Meeting I and Meeting II. Based on the
observation result in Meeting I, there were 74.19 of VIII-D students who were categorized as active participants. Then, it increased to 83.87 students who were
categorized as active participants in the observation result of Meeting II. Therefore, to know the average of the observation results in Cycle 2, it was
needed to calculate those observation results. Then, it was revealed that 79.03 students participated actively in the teaching learning process. It had achieved the
criteria success that at least 70 students participated actively in the teaching learning process of writing achievement by using realia.
Furthermore, the reflection was continued by reviewing the students’
results of writing achievement test in Cycle 2. It was found that the students’ mean score of writing achievement test was 82.58 rater 1 and 81.41 rater 2, it was
enough to answer the target of the minimum requirement standard score that was 70. The percentage of students who got score 70 or higher was 83.87. It was
shown that 26 students from 31 students got score more than 70. It could be concluded that the percentage of students who got score 70 or higher had achieved
the criteria success that at least 70 students got score 70 or higher. Based on the research results of Cycle 2, it could be stated that the
students’ participation and their writing achievement could be improved by using realia as media in teaching learning process of writing consisting of some aspects
of writing such as content, organization, vocabulary, grammar, and mechanic. It proved that the revisions which were made for Cycle 2 worked effectively to
cover the weaknesses in the implementation of Cycle 1.
In conclusion, the next cycle was not necessary to be conducted because the results of the implementation of Cycle 2 had achieved the criteria success
which had been formulated in the previous chapter.
