This document summarizes a study on using Quantum Teaching in an 8th grade writing class in Kabupaten Mukomuko Bengkulu, Indonesia. 28 out of 30 students struggled with writing and had low motivation. The study aimed to see how Quantum Teaching could be implemented, how students would respond, and what activities could stimulate creativity. Quantum Teaching uses mind mapping, engages multiple intelligences, and considers brain functioning. After treatment, students' writing improved and they were more active and engaged in class. The study concluded that Quantum Teaching was effective for the class and stimulated enjoyment in writing.

2. CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of Problem
There are 28 out of 30 of students found difficult to write report text. They
have less motivation in learning writing and they also have poor vocabulary,
teaching technique which was implemented by teachers in writing was
boring. The technique was monotonous; there was no variation in teaching
writing. As a result, students could not develop their ideas and they could not
develop their writing skill. This fact is very contradictive with curriculum
objectives, where students are expected to be able to write in accurately and
acceptable. And of course, this problem in researcher’s opinion should be
taken into a proper consideration.

3. B. Identification of Problems
• students find that it is difficult to do writing text,
• students have less motivation in learning writing ,
• students feel bored in learning writing as the technique
is monotonous, with no variation which made by
teachers in teaching writing,
• students have minimum vocabulary,
• Students are lack of practice in writing since the time is
limited,
• Students are lack of exposure to practice writing.
• Teacher does not have variation in doing
the thenique of teaching writing

4. C. Limitation of the Problems
(1) students difficulties to do writing text. Teaching learning process in class
should be based on competency standards as one of the guideline.
(2) Researcher would conduct this study by using Quantum Teaching as a
model to implement in teaching learning process.
(3) here, quantum teaching model would be focused on mind mapping in
teaching writing only.
(4) the researcher just focused on how the students are capable to develop
their idea in writing.
(5) this study is focused on class VIII A at SMPN 02 Kabupaten Mukomuko
Bengkulu, The students consist of 30 children.

5. D. Formulation of The Research
1. How is Quantum Teaching
implemented in writing
class at 8th on SMPN 2 in
Kabupaten Mukomuko
Bengkulu?
2. How do the students
respond to the use of
Quantum Teaching in the
writing class?
3. What activities can
stimulate students to be
creative and imaginative in
writing by using Quantum
Teaching?
E. Objectives of The Research
To investigate:
1. How Quantum Teaching is
implemented in writing
class at 8th on SMPN 02 in
Kabupaten Mukomuko
Bengkulu.
2. How the students respond
to the use of Quantum
Teaching in the writing class
3. Whether the activities can
stimulate students to be
creative and imaginative in
writing by using Quantum
Teaching.

teaching of Speaking for instructional Purposes in 2008 Zulfa Sakiyahha &

Application of Quantum Teaching Method in Teaching English as Foreign
(EFL) Language in Classroom Discourse.
3. Nurhayati in her research Using Mind Mapping in story telling for English

improve the students’ speaking skills in class.

9. Writing in Language Learning
• Nunan defines that writing is the process of
thinking to invent ideas, thinking about how to
express into good writing, and arranging the
ideas into statement and paragraph clearly.
• Lindman stated that writing is defined as a
process, communication, graphic system and the
way to convey a message. It means writing is one
of activities to communicate which needs skill to
convey their idea to the reader.

10. Report Text
• According Jordan A report is usually an information
text such as an information report that you may do
for a school assignment about an interesting topic or
subject. It can also be a news report. A report is
usually about something that is real and has different
parts to it that can be described.

11. Teaching Process of Writing
Al-wasilah states that writing experts believe
that writing is a teachable and learnable art,
provided it is taught and learned in a correct
manner. However, it –he claims further – is
perceived as the most difficult skill to acquire
by students and to teach by teacher. The
implies that most teachers have no
appropriate strategies of teaching writing,
besides the students are not prepared in
writing.

12. Quantum Teaching
Quantum Teaching is a teaching method
which can be applied by using imagination.
The method is given by Bobbi Deporter
(1999). He believes that the success of
teaching goals not only involves
teaching materials but also learners’
psychology.

13. Quantum Teaching
DePorter suggest that;
Strategies of teaching English in Classroom discourse based on
quantum teaching method are:
1. Introducing multiple intelligences approach, namely,
teaching activity by considering V-A-K learning style,
2. presenting teaching material based on mind mapping,
3. considering how brain works is that human’s brain
can function well during the period of 30 minutes
(decay theory); in addition, it only do best memory
saving from primary and last period.

14. Model of Teaching EFL Applying Quantum Teaching Method
a. Teaching Material
b. Teaching Strategy
1. Perform concept into Mind Mapping
2. Classroom Setting

15. Mind Mapping
Then Rocco, et all states that;
We used mind mapping, creative brainstorming technique to helps us to
think about what we might want to include in a writing project mind maps
use radiant thinking. Mind maps can develop using words, shapes, and
even pictures. This idea is to brainstorm main ideas related to your central
topic and then to brainstorm additional ideas associated with the main
ideas. The process continued until you have exhausted all possible ideas.
At the point, cluster of related ideas can be developed in to a more
structured outline, or mind map can guide manuscript development.

8th in class A of the SMPN 02 Kab. Muko-muko
Bengkulu in 2011/2012 academic.
C. Research Design
According to Borg & Gal in AECT , Descriptive
studies are aimed at finding out "what is," so
observational and survey methods are frequently
used to collect descriptive data.

19. D. Data collection
The data were collected by asking the students to
write paragraph , conducting some observations
to the English teaching and learning process,
either before or during the implementation of the
actions, and the interviews with the students and
also teacher.
E. Technique of Collecting Data
1. Observation
2. Interview
3. Student writing

20. G. Data Analysis and Interpretation
The result of students writing would be
analyzed by using the evaluation of writing.
While, The analyzing of the picture, the
researcher analyzed it by using handy camera
and tape recorder. The video and tape
recorder would be used to analyze the
teaching and learning process.

The example of students writing
before get mind mapping in quantum teahing method

24. The example of students writing
after get treatment in quantum teaching method

25. Students Activities in Class
Individual Learning
Group Learning

26. Discussion
Every students was active to follow quantum
teaching method. They felt that the method did not
make them bored or sleepy. Its because the quantum
teaching method was very effective to give the
stimulus by imagination of students like stated by
Lazanov who claimed that the focus of quantum
teaching method is learning by imagination. Thus
they can create and develop their idea inwriting.
