A. Background of the Research Question

Writing is one of the most important things you do in college Gebhardt

and Dawn Rodrigues (1989: 1)(1). Because writing is one of the skills or

language skills that has the highest level of difficulty compared to other

language skills, namely the ability to listen, speak and read. That's because to

make a writing requires ideas, ideas, imagination and creativity in order to

produce beautiful written works that can be enjoyed by readers. Therefore,

writing is a very important activity at school, and to improve students' writing

skills, of course they need media and practical methods.

According to Eric Gould, Robert Diyanni, and William Smith (1989:

18)(2), writing is a creative act, the act of writing is creative because it

requires to interpret or make sense of something: an experience, a text, an

event. There is a saying that experience is the best teacher, writing is the same

in order to increase writing skills, it takes creativity and experience in writing,

therefore students need to be trained so that their writing skills are getting

better and better. To produce good writing, you must not only pay attention to

technique but also the type of writing that is made, because writing has

guidelines or guidelines in writing.

Procedure text is a text that explains the complete, clear, and detailed

steps on how to do something (Kosasih (2014: 67)(3). In everyday life we use

procedure text to provide instructions so that someone can do a job properly.

1
This type of text helps us understand what we don't know. When we creat

such texts, we help others understand what they don't already know. In the

implementation of the 2013 curriculum, procedural text learning is taught in

class VII in the first semester.

Listening skills require students to be able to master knowledge related

to the type of writing they read. Weak listening skills make it difficult for

students to identify procedural texts. Various conditions cause low listening

skills in identifying procedural texts, including low understanding of linguistic

structures and characteristics, low interest in reading, and students being less

active in learning activities. The low understanding of the structure and

linguistic features of the text is due to the fact that the material is still newly

applied. Many students are still confused and do not even understand the

structure of the text, linguistic features, and in identifying recount text.

From some of the problems or difficulties of students that have been

described, therefore the researcher provides a solution, namely by using media

assistance in the form of videos to make students more active and better

understand procedure text.

Based on the description of the background, it is necessary to do

research with the title "The Use Of Video To Improve Students' Ability In

Writing Recount Texts In Grade 7".

B. Reseach Questions

Based on the background of the research, several research problems

can be identified, namely as follows:

1. How is the implementation of teaching writing recount texts using

video to the seventh grade students of junior high school?

2. What are the difficulties faced by students when learning writing

recount texts using video?

3. How effective is the use of video in learning writing recount texts

to the eight grade students of junior high school?

C. Objective of the Research

Based on research questions, this study aims to identify and

examine:

1. To describe the implementation of teaching writing recount text

using video to the eight grade students of junior high school.

2. To find out the difficulties faced by students when learning writing

recount texts using video.

3. To find out the effectiveness of use of video in learning writing

recount texts to the eight grade students of junior high school.

3
D. Benefits of the Research

1. Teacher

As input for teachers and researchers in analyzing student learning

outcomes in learning to identify recount texts.

2. Student

With this research, students are expected to gain knowledge and

experience in identifying recount texts.

3. School

With this research, it is hoped that schools will provide motivation for

teachers and students to provide facilities in the teaching and learning

process.

KEY TERM, LITERATURE REVIEW, AND HYPOTHESES

A. Key Term

1. The use of video in learning is an effort to facilitate the delivery of

information that we want to convey to students so that students can

receive information or lessons well and easily. Because with the help

of videos students can see, read also listen and write down important

information in the video, so students with any learning style can

receive lessons well.

2. Writing recount text is one of the materials in class VII, where with

material students can apply it in daily life because it discusses how to

make or do something. So students must really understand and be able

to write recount texts correctly.

3. Comparative research related to this research includes:

a. comparison of students' knowledge about recount text before and

after learning using video.

b. Comparison of student scores before and after using video.

B. Literature Review

The literature review contains a description of the theory, findings

and other research materials obtained from reference materials to be used

as the basis for research activities. The description in the literature review

is directed to develop a clear framework of thinking about solving the

5
problems that have been described previously in the formulation of the

problem.

The literature review in this study concerns the process of identifying

recount text by using learning videos that are able to make students active

in learning. In writing procedure text, students often have difficulty in

identifying procedure text. The use of video in learning can be done to

assist students in writing procedural texts. This literature review becomes

the theoretical basis that is relevant to the problem in research. Each theory

in this study will be described.

1. According to Henry Guntur Tarigan, writing is an activity of

expressing ideas or ideas by using written language as the main

medium of delivery.

According to Gebhardt and Dawn Rodrigues, understanding

writing is one of the most important things you do in school. Good

writing skills will greatly affect a person's level of success in

school, both in terms of writing reports, writing proposals or doing

assignments at school(4).

According to Mc. Crimmon, writing is an activity to explore

thoughts and feelings about a subject, determine the subject to be

written, and determine the writing technique so that people who

read the writing can understand it easily(5).

6
 According to DjagoTarigan, writing is an activity to express in

writing various kinds of ideas, thoughts, feelings, opinions, or

thoughts(6).

So it can be concluded that writing is an activity of expressing,

expressing ideas or ideas in written form, and determining the

writing technique so that people who read can get information and

understand it easily.

2. According to CheppyRiyana (2007) learning video media is media

that presents audio and visuals that contain good learning messages

that contain concepts, principles, procedures, knowledge

application theory to help understanding of a learning material.

Video is a visible and heard learning material (audio visual) that

can be used to convey messages / subject matter(7).

According to CheppyRiyana (2007:6)(8) instructional video media

as teaching materials aim to:

a. Clarify and simplify the delivery of messages so as not to

be too verbalistic.

b. Overcoming the limitations of time, space, and the sensory

power of students and instructors.

c. Can be used appropriately and varied.

7
 According to Heinich, Molenda, Russel 1993:188 in Rusman et al

2011:218) video can be interpreted as follows:

The primary meaning of video is the display of pictures on a

television type screen (the latin word video literally means “I see”

Any media format that employs a chatode-ray screen to present the

picture portion of the massege can be reffered to as video So it can

be concluded that video is a motion picture that contains a series of

plots and displays messages from parts of an image to achieve

learning objectives.

Video is a series of motion pictures accompanied by sound that

forms a unit that is assembled into a plot, with messages in it for

the achievement of learning objectives that are stored with the

storage process on tape or disk media (Arsyad, 2004: 36 in Rusman

et al. 2011: 218)(9) .Video is an audio-visual media that displays

motion (Sadiman, 2008:74).

So it can be concluded that learning videos are media that present

audio-visual displays that can be used to convey messages/subject

materials that aim to clarify and facilitate the delivery of messages,

and overcome the limitations of time, space, and the sensory power

of students and instructors.

C. Hypotheses

According to Kelinger, a research hypothesis is a statement that

explains the alleged relationship between two or more variables.

According to him, the hypothesis is always in the form of a declarative

sentence. The conjecture relates in general and in particular one variable to

another variable.

Hₐ : There is a relationship between writing ability and success

student learning using videos.

Hο : There is no relationship between writing ability and

student learning success using video.

A. Methods and Design

Research methods are research plans and procedures that include steps

from broad assumptions to detailed methods of data collection, analysis, and

interpretation (Creswell, 2016)(10). The Mix Method research method is an

approach in research that combines or connects quantitative and qualitative

research methods (Creswell, 2016)(11).

The research method used to answer the problem formulation

in this research is Mix Method (exploratory sequential). Method this study

was chosen according to its characteristics because the research question to be

answered include outcomes and processes that involve combining qualitative

and quantitative data to find out how the students' ability to identify

procedural texts if the teacher uses video in learning, what obstacles are faced

by the teacher and class VII students in the learning process by using video

and how effective is the learning using video assistance. The research

conducted is a research that aims to knowing the quality and quantity of

students in learning using video. The design used is exploratory sequential.

This design is used because the research used is quality research first and then

quantity.
