3.3.2 Students’ Writing Tests
Quantitative data of this study were obtained by looking at the results of pre-test, post-test of first cycle post-test 1 and post-test of second cycle post-test
2 conducted in the classroom. The pre-test was designed to collect the data about students
’ baseline status of writing achievements while the two post-tests were plann
ed to explore the impact of the implementation of GBA on the students’ writing achievements, which were given at the end of each cycle.
The test required the students to produce a piece of descriptive text writing about a topic. The scoring of the test is based on a analytic scoring rubric adapted
from Widodo 2006. According to Hyland 2003, rubric is a form of commentary usually used on the final product as an assessment. One of the
advantages of using rubric is that they indicate more explicitely what aspects of the assignment are being assessed. The scoring rubric was developed based on the
need of scoring descriptive text writing. The consideration of using scoring rubric for writing test is because it provides simple and clear criteria of each aspect.
3.3.3 Samples of Students’ Texts
The samples of students’ texts were one of qualitative data collection techniques used in this study. This technique was done by choosing
nine students’ descriptive texts from twenty eight texts collected from pre-test, post-test cycle 1,
and post- test cycle 2. These nine students represented different levels of achievement: low, middle, and high. The samples of students’ texts provided
evidence of the types of writing produced in the observed meetings, the level of competence demonstrated and the type of assessment teacher used to grade the
students ’ works.
