Abstract

This paper reports a study which investigated the effect of scaffolding techniques on stu dents’ writing achievement. This study is quasi-experimental research with nonrandomized control group design. The total number of participants was 36 students who were in two different groups: ex perimental group and control group. There were twenty students in the experimental group and six teen students in the control group. The result of the pre-test showed that both the experimental group and the control group were equal and homogenous. since the statistical computation yielded significant value p = 0.890 which was higher than α =0.05. The analysis of writing test in post-test yielded p= .027 which was smaller than α = 0.05. Thus, it can be concluded that scaffolding techniques can significantly improve the students’ writing achievement.
