On the other hand, many studies also found the disadvantages of peer assessment like poor quality feedback from the students. This study was designed in qualitative research. The students of X graders in one of Senior High School in Mojokerto were observed during class. The students’ grammar and vocabulary which was corrected by peer were analysed to answer first and second problem and the students’ response during interview was transcribed and interpreted to answer the third problem. The result of this study showed that most of the students faced some problems when conducting peer assessment in the writing class. The students did not acknowledge some grammatical errors and vocabulary errors in the students’ written works. The students also did not assess based on the grammar use and vocabulary use in descriptive text because the teacher did not give explanation about criteria of grammar and vocabulary that must be assessed by the students. Moreover, the students also gave good score to their peer without certain criteria of the score. In conclusion, the students faced some problems in assessing peer’s written work. The biggest problem found is the lack of student’s ability of sufficient knowledge. It makes the validity of peer assessment doubtfully to be used for measuring the students’ performance in this class. Keywords: Peer Assessment, Writing, Grammatical Error, Vocabulary Error Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti kemampuan siswa dalam menilai tulisan teman sejawat. Banyak penelitian yang telah menemukan keuntungan dari penilaian teman sejawat, seperti kecepatan pemahaman siswa terhadap matapelajaran. Namun, ada juga penelitian yang menemukan bahwa penilaian oleh teman sejawat memunyai kekurangan, seperti kualitas masukan yang buruk dari siswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Siswa kelas sepuluh MAN Mojokerto diteliti untuk mendapatkan beberapa data yang diperlukan. Struktur bahasa dan pemilihan kata dari tulisan siswa yang telah dikoreksi teman sejawat dianalisis untuk menjawab rumusan masalah pertama dan kedua. Kemudian, jawaban siswa dalam wawancara disalin dan dideskripsikan untuk menjawab rumusan masalah ketiga. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan, bahwa banyak siswa menemukan kesulitan dalam pelaksanaan penilaian teman sejawat. Siswa tidak mengenali beberapa kesalahan struktur bahasa dan pemilihan kata. Kemudian, siswa tidak menilai tulisan teman sejawat sesuai dengan ciri kebahasaan dari teks deskriptif. Selain itu, siswa juga memberi skor kepada teman sejawat tanpa pedoman kriteria penilaian. Hal-hal ini membuat hasil penilaian teman sejawat diragukan untuk mengukur kemampuan siswa. Sehingga, dapat disimpulkan bahwa siswa menghadapi beberapa kesulitan untuk menilai tulisan teman sejawat. Kesulitan terbesar siswa adalah kurangngnya pengetahuan yang dibutuhkan untuk menilai tulisan teman sejawat. Hal ini membuat kebenaran dari hasil penilaian teman sejawat diragukan untuk digunakan sebagai pedoman pengukuran kemampuan siswa di kelas tersebut.

Abstract

Abstrak Balikan akan lebih bermanfaat dan efektif apabila diberikan pada level yang sesuai karena dapat membantu siswa untuk memahami; berpartisipasi; atau mengembangkan strategi yang efektif untuk memproses informasi yang akan dipelajari (Hattie & Timperley, 2007). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan macam-macam tipe feedback yang diperoleh siswa pada tulisan teks recount mereka dan untuk mencari informasi lebih jauh berkenaan dengan respon siswa terhadap feedback dari guru. Penelitian ini merupakan sebuah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Subjek dalam penelitian ini mencakup 12 siswa dari kelas VIII-6 SMP Al-Falah Deltasari. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua instrumen untuk mengumpulkan data yaitu dokumentasi (tulisan siswa) dan wawancara. Dokumentasi atau tulisan siswa digunakan untuk meneliti dan mendeskripsikan macam-macam tipe feedback yang siswa peroleh pada tulisan teks recount mereka. Sedangkan wawancara diadakan untuk mengetahui respons siswa berdasarkan cara pandang dan pendapat mereka terhadap feedback dari guru. Dari penelitian ini dapat diketahui bahwa hampir semua siswa, untuk balikan dalam bentuk koreksian, memperoleh direct feedback yang diikuti dengan focused dan unfocused feedback pada tulisan mereka. Selanjutnya, untuk balikan dalam bentuk komentar, hampir semua siswa memperoleh komentar yang berisi masukan secara umum dan pujian atas tulisan dan usaha mereka dalam mengarang sebuah teks recount lengkap dengan tepat waktu. Dengan demikian dapat disimpulkan bahwa guru tersebut tidak membedakan tipe balikan dalam bentuk koreksian maupun komentar terhadap tulisan siswa dengan keahlian Bahasa Inggris yang berbeda. Akan tetapi tipe-tipe balikan dalam bentuk koreksian dan komentar tidak dapat meningkatkan kemampuan siswa dalam mengoreksi kesalahan mereka sendiri. Hal ini dikarenakan guru sudah menyedikan jawaban yang benar dari kesalahan mereka dan balikan dari guru tidak dapat mengungkap kelemahan siswa pada konten secara spesifik. Kata Kunci: balikan dari guru, strategi memberikan feedback, respon siswa, teks recount, dan karangan. Abstract Feedback will be more beneficial and effective if the feedback is directed at the right level since it can assist students to comprehend, engage, or develop effective strategies to process the information intended to be learned (Hattie & Timperley, 2007). This study focused on its goal to describe the types of feedback that students receive on their recount text compositions and to seek further information dealing with the students’ responses toward the teacher feedback which is given to their recount text compositions. This study was qualitative descriptive research which had twelve students of VIII-6 of SMP Al-Falah Deltasari as the participants. This study also employed two instruments to collect the data namely documents (students’ writing) and interview. The students’ writing were used to investigate and describe the types of feedback that were received by students on their recount text composition. Then, the interviews were conducted with the students to expose their responses concerning to their perspectives and opinions toward the teacher feedback. The result showed that the teacher did only provide corrective feedback but also commentary on the students’ writing. For the corrective feedback, the students mostly received direct corrective feedback with focused and unfocused feedback on her first writing. Moreover, for the teacher commentaries, most of students received commentaries that contained of the teacher’s general advice and complementary about the students’ writing and efforts in composing a complete recount text on time. From this, it could be inferred that the teacher did not differentiate her written corrective feedback and commentary at students with different English level proficiency’s writing and the types of corrective feedback that were received by the students did not lead them to improve their self-correcting abilities. It was due to the facts that the teacher gave the correct form of their errors and it did not cover students’ weaknesses on the content specifically. In spite of all those things, all the students still had positive point of views on the teacher feedback in written form. Keywords: Teacher’s Feedback, Strategies of Providing Feedback, Students’ Responses, Recount Text, and Compositions .

Abstract

Abstrak Feedback adalah sebuah aktivitas memberikan koreksi atau saran terhahap pekerjaan siswa. Feedback yang diberikan oleh teman sejawat disebut dengan peer- feedback. Di dalam aktivitas Peer- Feedback, siswa dapat berdialog antar teman untuk memeriksa kesalahan dan bagaimana membenarkannya. Penggunaan peer- feedback tampaknya akan lebih berguna diterapkan di kelas inklusi dimana anak- anak reguler dan anak berkebutuhan khusus belajar di kelas umum. Penerapan peer- feedback akan memberikan kesempatan untuk berkomunikasi yang mana akan berguna untuk meningkatkan kenyamanan siswa dan mengurangi kesenjangan sosial antara siswa berkebutuhan khusus dengan siswa yang lain. Selain itu, siswa reguler dapat membantu siswa berkebutuhan khusus untuk mencapai hasil belajar dalam proses belajar mereka. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif, yang bertujuan untuk menggambarkan implementasi peer- feedback di SMAN 10 Surabaya yang merupakan salah satu sekolah inklusi di Surabaya. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga menggambarkan aktivitas- aktivitas yang dilakukan siswa reguler maupun siswa berkebutuhan khusus selama penerapan peer- feedback. Ketika menerapkan peer- feedback, guru membuat beberapa grup siswa, jadi di dalam satu grup akan ada satu siswa berkebutuhan khusus. Setelah itu, siswa reguler harus membantu siswa berkebutrtuhan khusus untuk memberikan feedback. Selain itu, mereka juga berperan sebagai pengajar untuk membantu siswa berkebutuhan khusus memahami materi yang telah disampaikan. Feedback yang diberikan oleh siswa ternyata tidak dapat dipakai sebagai sebuah standar untuk menilai pekerjaan siswa. Banyak dari mereka masih melakukan kesalahan ketika memberikan feedback. Kemampuan siswa berpengaruh terhadap kualitas dari peer- feedback tersebut. Kata Kunci: Feedback, Siswa Reguler, Siswa Berkebutuhan Khusus, Kelas Inklusi. Abstract Feedback is an activity to give corrections or suggestions to the student’s performances. Feedback which is given by the students is called peer- feedback. In peer- feedback, the students can make a dialogue among their peers to share their mistakes and how to overcome it. The use of peer- feedback considers being more important in inclusive classroom setting where the regular students and the disabilities learn in the regular classroom. The implementation of peer- feedback will give opportunity for having communication which is able to increase students’ confidence and reduce socio-cultural gap among disabilities students and their peers. Moreover, the regular students will be able to help the disabilities students to reach the achievement in learning process. This research uses descriptive qualitative research, in purposed to describe the implementation of peer- feedback in SMAN 10 Surabaya which one of inclusive school in Surabaya. Moreover, it also describes the activities of both regular and disabilities students during the implementation of peer- feedback. The results showed that the disabilities tended to be passive in teaching learning process. When the implementation of peer- feedback, the teacher arranged the group, thus there will be one disabilities student in one group. Then the regular students should help the disabilities students to give feedback. Besides, they also acted as a tutor to help them understood the materials. Finally, feedback which given by the students cannot be a standard to assess the students’ performances. Most of them still make mistakes while giving feedback to their students’ performances. The ability of the students impacts on the quality of peer- feedback. Keywords: Peer- Feedback, Regular Students, Disabilities Students, Inclusive Classroom Setting.
