APPLICATION OF INFORMATION LITERATION BASED METHODS IN LEARNING WRITING REPORT OBSERVATION

Abstract

This research is motivated by the findings of problems that occur in class V SDN BOJONGSALAM 5 Rancaekek Bandung Regency, when the Indonesian language learning process on the aspect of writing skills takes place student learning activities are lacking. This is caused by the inability of students to write reports with the right observation report stages, because there is no guidance and modeling of how to write observational reports made by the teacher. Then, students are not able to write reports with attention to the correct spelling, because the teacher does not provide opportunities for students to cooperate and discuss. To overcome these problems, learning innovations are carried out that are able to actively involve students, namely by applying information literacy based project methods. The project method is a way of presenting lessons that start from one problem, then discussed from various related aspects so that the solution is overall and meaningful. Information literacy is awareness and skills to identify, search, evaluate, organize, create, use and communicate information to solve or solve problems. This study aims to gain knowledge about learning to write observational reports before studying writing reports. By using the project method, students can gain learning experience in various activities and responsibilities so that students' activities and abilities in writing observational reports increase. The method used in this research is quasi-experimental. Quasi experiment is an experimental activity that aims to find out a symptom or influence that arises, as a result of the existence of certain treatments, by taking steps namely: planning, action, observation and reflection. The data collection techniques are using interviews, observation sheets and observation report test questions.
