The Influence of Quantum Teaching Method and Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition Method on Descriptive Writing Skill of Elementary Student

Abstract

This research aimed at finding out the influence of quantum teaching (QT) method and cooperative integrated reading composition (CIRC) method on elementary students’ descriptive writing skill. This research used quantitative method with quasi experiment technique. This research used non-equivalent control group pretest-postest design. The population in this research was all the students at grade 5 in SD Muhammadiyah
1 Alternatif Kota Magelang. The data analysis techniques used in this research were paired sample t-test and analysis of variance (anova). The result showed that: (1) there was positive influence on the use of quantum teaching (QT) method on descriptive writing skill of grade 5 students in SD Muhammadiyah 1 Alternatif Kota Magelang, (2) there was positive influence on the use of cooperative integrated reading composition
(CIRC) method on descriptive writing skill at grade 5 students in SD Muhammadiyah 1 Alternatif Kota Magelang, and (3) there was different influence on the use of quantum teaching (QT) method and cooperative integrated reading (CIRC) method on descriptive writing skill at grade 5 students in SD Muhammadiyah 1 Alternatif Kota Magelang.
