ABSTRACT

Utami Ria Pratiwi. S891302045. THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PAIRED
WRITING METHOD TO TEACH WRITING VIEWED FROM STUDENTS’
SELF-EFFICACY (An Experimental Study at the Eighth Grade of SMP
Muhammadiyah Boarding School Yogyakarta in the Academic Year of
2013/2014). First consultant: Dr.Ngadiso, M.Pd.; Second consultant: Dr.Abdul
Asib, M.Pd. Thesis. Surakarta: English Education Department Graduate School of
Teachers Training and Education Faculty. Sebelas Maret University. 2014
This research aims to describe whether: (1) Paired writing method is more
effective than Guided writing method to teach writing to the Eighth grade of SMP

Muhammadiyah Boarding School in the Academic Year of 2013/2014; (2) the
students who have high self-efficacy have better writing skill than those who have
low self-efficacy of the eighth grade of that school; and (3) there is an interaction
between teaching methods and self-efficacy to teach writing to the eighth grade of
that school.
This experimental study was conducted at SMP Muhammadiyah Boarding
School Yogyakarta in the Academic year of 203/2014. The population in this
research is the eighth grade students of that school. The total number of
population is 144 students coming from four classes. The samples are 8C as the
experimental class and 8D as the control class in which each consists of 36
students. Each class was divided into two groups (the students who have high and
low self-efficacy). The data were collected using writing test and self-efficacy
questionnaire. Then, the data were analyzed by using Multifactor analysis of
variance ANOVA 2x2 and Tukey test.
The research findings revealed that : (1) Paired writing method is more
effective than Guided writing method to teach writing; (2) the students who have
high self-efficacy have better writing skill than those who have low self-efficacy;
and (3) there is an interaction between teaching methods and self-efficacy in
teaching writing.
Finally, it can be inferred that Paired writing method is an effective

method to teach writing for the eighth grade and the students having high selfefficacy have better writing skill than those having low self-efficacy. Furthermore,
the effectiveness of Paired writing method is affected by the level of students’
self-efficacy. Hopefully, the research findings can be used as a reference for other
researchers in the future research and it contributes in developing teaching and
learning writing.
Keywords: Paired Writing Method, Guided Writing Method, self-efficacy,
