摘要

Writing obsevation-based report texts is one of the basic competences in The National Curriculum of 2013, especially for VII grade students. This study aims at finding (1) experimental group students’ ability of writing observation-based report texts before and after the implementation of group investigation method, (2) control group students’ ability of writing report texts before and after the implementation of direct method learning, (3) level of significance between the ability of writing observation-based report texts of students in the control and students in the eperimental group. The reason for using observation-based report text as the learning material in this study is becaiuse, compared to others, this material is considered simple, whereas,the use of group investigation was expected to help students develop their ability in writing especially writing observation-based report texts. This study employed a quasi-experimental research method. The findings showed that students’ texts which at first contain several limitations improved and became more structured and imformative. Statistically, the average scores of the experimental group students for both pre-test and post-test were 55,95 and 74,05 and the average scores of the control group students for both pre-test and post-test were 54,7 and 62.25. The hypotesis testing (with the level of significance = 0,0) results in asymp. sig. (2-sided) 0,439 > 0,05, indicating that Ha was accepted and Ho was rejected. It can be concluded that the implementation of group investigation method was effective in improving students ability in writing observation-based report text.
