A Thesis. First Consultant: Dra. Dewi Rochsantiningsih, M.Ed, Ph.D.; Second Consultant: Dr. Ngadiso, M.Pd. English Education Department, Graduate Progam, Sebelas Maret University. This research aims to verify whether: (1) SAVI is more effective than TSTS to teach writing; (2) The students who have high critical thinking have better writing skill than those who have low critical thinking; and (3) There is an interaction between teaching methods and students’ critical thinking in teaching writing. This experimental study was conducted at the eleventh grade students of SMAN 3 Metro in the academic year 2015/2016. The sample of this research was taken using cluster random sampling. The sample of this research was two classes; XI-IPA-2 as an experimental class and XI-IPA-1 as a control class. The experimental class was taught using SAVI, while the control class was taught using TSTS. Each class consisted of two groups based on the level of critical thinking (high and low). The instruments for collecting the data were writing test (to measure the writing skill) and critical thinking test (to measure the critical thinking level). The data were analyzed in term of their frequency distribution, normality of the sample distribution, and the data homogeneity. Then, the data were analyzed using Multifactor Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) test 2×2 and TUCKEY test. Research findings shows that: (1) SAVI differs significantly from TSTS to teach writing because Fo > Ft and qo (between A1 and A2) > qt; (2) students having high critical thinking differ significantly from those having low critical thinking because Fo > Ft and qo (between B1 and B2) > qt; and (3) there is an interaction between teaching methods and students’ critical thinking in teaching writing because Fo > Ft, and the result of Tukey test shows that: (a) for the students having high critical thinking, SAVI method differs significantly from TSTS method to teach writing because qo (between A1B1 and A2B1) > qt; and (b) for the students having low critical thinking, TSTS method differs significantly from SAVI method to teach writing because qo (between A1B2 and A2B2) > qt. Finally, the results of this research imply that SAVI is an effective method to teach writing. The research also shows that the effect of SAVI depends on the students’ critical thinking. Therefore, should the teachers implement SAVI, they have to be able to improve the students’ critical thinking.

Optimalisasi Peran Kader Posyandu Kelompok Lansia di Desa Sumberejo Pesisir Barat

Abstrak Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan tim dosen dan mahasiswa Institut Agama Islam Negeri Metro di Desa Sumberejo Kecamatan Bangkunat Kabupaten Pesisir Barat yang merupakan daerah dengan penduduk yang sebagian besar bermata pencaharian sebagai petani kebun. Komoditas hasil bumi di sini yang paling banyak adalah pisang dan pepaya. Setelah melakukan identifikasi masalah ditemukanlah hal-hal yang menjadi fokus dari kajian tersebut. Dimana daerah ini merupakan salah satu daerah yang baru saja mengalami pemekaran dengan segala prasarana dan fasilitas yang ada terbatas bahkan belum dapat dikatakan memadai. Dari segi pendidikan tenaga medis dan lain sebagainya masih dikatakan kurang. Bahkan yang menjadi tenaga kerja pendidik dan tenaga medis kebanyakan berasal dari daerah lain atau bukan asli dari masyarakat di sini. Menurut hasil wawancara kepada salah satu warga hal tersebut terjadi sebab masyarakat di daerah ini masih sedikit kesadarannya dalam segi pendidikan. Mereka cenderung lebih memilih  bekerja di kebun yang merupakan mata pencaharian pokok masyarakat di sini. Karena hal itulah perlu adanya pengoptimalisasian kader-kader yang bergerak di bidangnya seperti kesehatan khususnya kesehatan kelompok lanjut usia (lansia). Sebab di daerah ini banyak terdapat lansia yang masih sedikit kesadaran mengenai kesehatan. Padahal sudah ada wadah dan prasarana yang disediakan melalui posyandu lansia. Peran kader sangat dibutuhkan untuk menyadarkan atau menumbuhkan kesadaran dalam diri masyarakat khususnya lansia melalui usaha optimalisasi peran kader posyandu lansia di Desa Sumberejo.
