ABSTRACT
Sri Lestari. The Effectiveness of Paper Seminar Technique to Teach
Writing Viewed from the Students’ Self-Actualization (An Experimental Research
at the Third Semester Students of English Department IKIP PGRI Madiun in the
Academic Year of 2012/2013). First consultant: Dr. Ngadiso, M.Pd; second
consultant: Dr. Abdul Asib, M.Pd. Thesis: Surakarta, English Education
Department, Graduate School, Sebelas Maret University, 2013.
This research aims at find out whether: (1) Paper Seminar Technique is
more effective than Peer Editing Technique to teach writing skill; (2) students
having high self-actualization have better writing skill than those having low selfactualization; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching techniques and
students’ self-actualization in teaching writing to the third semester students of
English Department, IKIP PGRI Madiun in the academic year of 2012/2013.
The experimental research was conducted in IKIP PGRI Madiun. The

population was the third semester students of English Department IKIP PGRI
Madiun in the academic year of 2012/2013. In taking the sample, a cluster random
sampling technique was used. There were two classes used as sample. One class
consisted of 30 students who were experimental class taught by Paper Seminar
technique and the other 30 students were as control class taught by Peer Editing
technique. The instruments of collecting data were writing test test and
questionnaire. The data were analyzed by using multifactor analysis of variance
2x2. Then, it was analyzed by using Tukey test.
The research findings show that: (1) Paper Seminar technique is more
effective than Peer Editing technique; (2) The students having high selfactualization have better writing skill than those having low self-actualization; and
(3) There is an interaction between teaching techniques and students’ selfactualization in teaching writing.
Finally, the research findings imply that the use of Paper Seminar
Technique can improve the student’s writing skill. The evidence in this research
indicate that the students taught using Paper Seminar Technique have better
writing skil than those taught using Peer Editing Technique. Therefore, it is
recommended for English teaching teacher to apply Paper Seminar Technique in
the writing class.
