B. Reviews of Related Studies
Meni Sihite conducted a research in Grade VIII-2 of SMP N 1 Kabanjahe in 2010. Her research findings showed that quantum learning can improve
students’ achievement in descriptive writing. The result of the study shows that the use of Quantum Learning improves the students’ writing skill. Besides, the
students became more active in learning writing.
C. Conceptual Framework
It has been discussed in chapter I that the students of SMPN 5 Sleman especially grade VIII A have problems in writing.
The students’ writing skills then can be improved by Quantum Learning strategy. Using Quantum Learning
strategy can help students by making the situation of TL process as joy as possible. By ensuring that the students are comfortable, confident and relax, it
will enhance the teaching and learning process. In its relation to writing, this
32
strategy can be applied in order to support the students in learning writing and to help the teacher transfer the materials that engage and energize the students. It is
because teaching a certain topic not only needs good material delivery but also needs good atmosphere in the classroom.
Quantum Learning Method will be used in the whole process of Teaching and Learning. In the actions, the teacher will play instrumental music and make a
good atmosphere by motivating the students when they are wrong and will never get mad. Finally the students will enjoy in learning the material and they can
express their idea more easily.

The conceptual framework can be described as follows.
