In terms of the cultural awareness, students‟ writing also improved as their content getting better from the previous. Here, I consider that their writing reflect
their consciousness of being aware to the importance of preserving culture and so on. It
is regarding to the nature of writing as one of the way to express someone‟s‟ idea that comes up from recursive process that initially do through contemplation.
To see the clear progress of students‟ cultural awareness, we may refer to this following table which shows the comparison between the mean of the cultural
awareness reflected in students‟ writing on both cycle 1 and cycle 2.

CHAPTER V CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION
In the end of this research report, I would like to draw conclusion and suggestions as follow:
5.1 Conclusion
After conducting this research, I concluded that fieldtrip in Ronggowarsito Museum could be an alternative teaching activities to teach writing recount text
by implementing character building education and nationalism, especially in shaping students‟ awareness of culture. Moreover, this fieldtrip let the students to
have learning by experiencing. The result proves that students‟ writing achievements were
improved after having the treatments as the preparation of conducting the fieldtrip. It could be drawn from the result of both cycle 1 and cycle 2 test, that
showed improvement from 71.58 to 83.30. Furthermore, in terms of their awareness of culture reflected on their writing showed significant improvement as
well. In cycle 1 test, most students‟ got Poor 25 students, and Average 9
students, Good 2 students, and none of them got excellent. Whereas in cycle 2, most of students achieved Average level 18 students, and Good 9 students,
Excellent 2 students whereas Poor 7 students. It was considered significantly improved from the result of cycle 2.
It was because during the treatments students had discussion about visiting museum and the effort of preserving culture, and then followed up by the real
fieldtrip.
