Abstract


ABSTRACT

Writing skills and digital literacy are still important skills needed today. However, often the lack of these two skills is still found. Therefore, the handling of the low level of these two skills needs to be addressed immediately. M-Write is a digital application that facilitates the writing process for beginners by involving students' metacognition skills and a process-genre-oriented writing approach with the help of problematized scaffolding that can be accessed via websites or smartphones. The purpose of this training activity for using the M-Write application is as an effort to improve students' writing skills and digital literacy at SMP Muhammadiyah 6 Pucuk. The methods used include discussion and equality of perceptions, preparation and reproduction of training modules, preparation of assessment instruments, training and assistance in the use of practice-based M-Write applications, and report preparation. This training was attended by 41 students in 7th and 8th grades. The results show that the use of the M-Write application provides a good change for students in improving their writing and digital literacy skills. The use of the M-Write application is expected to continue to be used by schools to support learning that applies writing learning, such as Indonesian and English lessons.
