Penelitian ini mengkaji penggunaan Digital Photo Strip untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam menulis teks deskriptif. Penelitian dilakukan dengan 14 peserta siswa kelas VIII di SMP Bruderan Purwokerto selama tahun akademik 2025/2026, menggunakan desain pre-eksperimental dengan one-group pre- and post-test. Peserta menyelesaikan penilaian menulis awal, mengikuti perlakuan multi-sesi menggunakan metodologi Digital Photo Strip, dan kemudian menyelesaikan post-test yang setara. Selain itu, peserta menyelesaikan kuesioner persepsi yang mengukur sikap, pengalaman, dan keterlibatan mereka terhadap media instruksional. Skor pre-test (M = 22,00, SD = 4,44) meningkat secara signifikan menjadi kinerja post-test (M = 29,79, SD = 2,12), mewakili peningkatan rata-rata sebesar 7,79 poin (peningkatan 35,4%). Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test menghasilkan Z-score sebesar -3.304 dengan signifikansi asimptotik dua-ekor sebesar 0,001 (p < ,05), menunjukkan peningkatan yang sangat signifikan. Secara khusus, semua 14 peserta menunjukkan skor keuntungan positif tanpa satu pun contoh penurunan atau stagnasi. Mengenai data persepsi, skor rata-rata kuesioner keseluruhan adalah 4,13 pada skala Likert lima poin (kategori Tinggi), dengan dimensi pengalaman mencapai rata-rata tertinggi (M = 4,43), diikuti oleh dimensi perilaku (M = 4,21) dan sikap (M = 3,79). Temuan konvergen ini mendukung kesimpulan bahwa Digital Photo Strip merupakan teknik yang divalidasi secara empiris dan bersifat pedagogis untuk meningkatkan kompetensi menulis deskriptif di antara siswa pembelajaran bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing di sekolah menengah pertama, sambil secara bersamaan memupuk persepsi positif terhadap medium instruksional. |

The Use of Digital Photo Strips to Improve Students’ Skills in Writing Descriptive Text (A Pre-Experimental Study at Grade 8 of SMP Bruderan Purwokerto in the Academic Year 2025/2026).

This study examined the use of Digital Photo Strip to improve students’ skills in writing descriptive text. The research was conducted with 14 eighth-grade participants at SMP Bruderan Purwokerto during the 2025/2026 academic year, utilizing a pre-experimental one-group pre- and post-test design. Participants completed a baseline writing assessment, engaged in a multi-session treatment employing Digital Photo Strip methodology, and subsequently completed an equivalent post-test. Additionally, participants completed a perception questionnaire measuring their attitudes, experiences, and engagement with the instructional medium. Pre-test scores (M=22.00, SD=4.44) increased significantly to post-test performance (M=29.79, SD=2.12), representing a mean gain of 7.79 points (35.4% improvement). The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test yielded a Z-score of -3.304 with asymptotic two-tailed significance of 0.001 (p < .05), indicating highly significant improvement. Notably, all 14 participants demonstrated positive gain scores with zero instances of decline or stagnation. Regarding perception data, the overall questionnaire mean score was 4.13 on a five-point Likert scale (High category), with the experience dimension achieving the highest mean (M=4.43), followed by behavior (M=4.21) and attitude (M=3.79) dimensions. These convergent findings support the conclusion that Digital Photo Strip constitutes an empirically validated and pedagogically sound technique for advancing descriptive writing competence among junior high school EFL learners, while simultaneously fostering positive perceptions of the instructional medium. |
