Improving Writing Skills of Student Interview Results through the Outdoor Study Method

Abstract

This research aims to improve students’ ability to document interview results through the application of learning methods outside the classroom. The participants of this study were 10 students selected from an elementary school in East Banggae, Majane Regency, West Sulawesi, consisting of 6 male students and 4 female students. This study uses a classroom action research approach. The findings of the study showed an increase in students’ ability to write interview results in each cycle. In the initial cycle, students achieved an average score of 11.1 with a 50% success rate, which is included in the “good” category (category B). In the second cycle, the score increased to 13 with a success rate of 60%, still in the “good” category (category B). In the third cycle there was a further improvement, with an average score of 15.7 and a success rate of 80%, which placed it in the “excellent” (SB) category. These results lead to the conclusion that the use of outdoor study techniques contributes to the improvement of students’ writing skills in documenting interview results.
