          NURLAELAH. 2015. Peningkatan Kemampuan Menulis Teks Laporan Hasil
          Observasi Melalui Model Project BasedLearning (Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek)
          Siswa Kelas X MIA 3 SMA Negeri 8 Makassar (dibimbing oleh Andi Sukri Syamsuri
          dan Rahman Rahim).
             Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk  mendeskripsikan perencanaan pembelajaran,
          peningkatan aktivitas pembelajaran, dan peningkatan kemampuan menulis teks
          laporan hasil observasi melalui  model projectbasedlearning(pembelajaran berbasis
          proyek)siswa kelas X MIA 3 SMA Negeri 8 Makassar.  Jenis penelitian yang
          digunakan adalah penelitian tindakan kelas yang terdiri atas dua siklus. Fokus
          penelitian adalah aktivitas guru dan siswa serta hasil keterampilan menulis teks
          laporan hasil observasi dengan menggunakan model projectbasedlearning.  Teknik
          pengumpulan data melalui observasi terhadap aktivitas guru dan siswa serta melalui
          tes menulis.Data penelitian berupa data proses dan data hasil. Data proses dianalisis
          secara deskriptif kualitatif dan data keterampilan menulis teks laporan hasil observasi
          dianalisis secara deskriptif kuantitatif.
             Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa (1) terjadi peningkatan aktivitas guru
          dan siswa dalam pembelajaran   menulis teks laporan hasil observasi dengan
          menggunakan model projectbasedlearning. Hal tersebut dapat dilihat pada analisis
          hasil observasi peneliti pada siklus I menunjukkan bahwa, aktivitas guru berada pada
          kategori cukup atau persentase  sebesar 53%. Siklus II menunjukkan peningkatan dari
          siklus sebelumnya yaitu  berkategori baik atau persentase sebesar 42% sedangkan
          aktivitas siswa pada siklus I tidak aktif atau persentase 61%, untuk siklus II terjadi
          peningkatan dari siklus sebelumnya menjadi 100% siswa aktif.(2) terjadi peningkatan
          kemampuan menulis teks laporan hasil observasi siswa  Kelas X MIA 3 SMA Negeri
          8 Makassar dengan menggunakan model projectbasedlearning.Hal tersebut tampak
          dari nilai yang diperoleh siswa pada siklus I jumlah nilai rata-rata 70,38 dan berada
          pada kategori cukup. Pada siklus II, jumlah nilai rata-rata 83,42 dan berada pada
          kategori baik. Dengan demikian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa penggunaan model
          projectbasedlearning  dapat meningkatkan kemampuan menulis teks laporan hasil
          observasi siswa kelas X MIA 3 SMA Negeri 8 Makassar.

                           viii
             NURLAELAH. 2015. Improving the Students’ Ability to Write Report Text
          Based on Observations Using Project Based Learning Model in Class X MIA 3 of
          SMAN 8 Makassar (supervised by AndiSukriSyamsuri and Rahman Rahim). 
             The study aimed at describing the lesson plan, the increasing of learning
          activities, and the improving of the students’ ability to write report text based on
          observation using project based learning model in class X MIA 3 of SMAN 8
          Makassar. This study employed a classroom action research consisted of 2 cycles.
          The study focused on the activities of teachers and students and the result of writing
          report text skills based on observation using project based learning model. Data were
          collected through observation on teachers and students’ activities as well as the tests.
          The research data were in forms of data process and data result. Data process were
          analyzed in descriptive quantitative.
             The results of the study revealed that (1) there was enhancement in activity of
          teachers and students in writing report text learning process based on observation
          using project based learning model, proved in cycle I that the activity of the teachers
          was in fair category by 53%. Cycle II showed improvement from the previous cycle
          which was in goodcategoryby 42%; whereas, thestudents Activities incycle II
          wasinactive category by 61%. Cycle II showed improvement from the previous cycle
          which was in goodcategoryby 100%,  and (2) there was an improvement of the
          students’ ability in writing report text based on observation in class X MIA 3 of
          SMAN 8 Makassar by using project-based learning model, proved in class X MIA 3
          of SMAN Makassar by using project based learning model, proved in cycle I that the
          students’ ability was in fair category with the mean score 70,38. In cycle II that the
          students’ ability was in good category with the mean score 83.42. Thus, the
          conclusion of the study is the useof project-based learning model can improve the
          student’ ability in writing report text based on observation in class X MIA 3 of
