Abstract

This study investigates the effect of using a collaborative writing strategy with the Padlet application on students' writing skills, specifically in writing Analytical Exposition texts. The research was conducted at SMA Negeri 3 Rejang Lebong with XI IPS students as the subjects. A quasi-experimental design was employed, involving an experimental group that used Padlet for collaborative writing and a control group that followed conventional writing instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments were conducted to measure students’ writing improvements. The results showed that the experimental group demonstrated a greater increase in writing performance compared to the control group. The mean post-test score of the experimental class was 75.22, higher than the control class (60.22). Additionally, statistical analysis using paired sample t-tests revealed a significant difference in writing scores (t-statistic = 15.062, p > 2.056), confirming that the use of Padlet positively influenced students' writing abilities. These findings align with previous research that highlights the benefits of technology-enhanced collaborative writing in improving writing quality, engagement, and peer interaction (Zhang, 2022; Alharbi, 2020). The study suggests that integrating digital tools such as Padlet can be an effective pedagogical approach for developing students' writing skills. Further research is recommended to explore its long-term impact across different writing genres and educational levels.
