Using Google Docs as a media in the collaborative writing assignments, students have improved their writing abilities and are currently able to write recount texts. Google Docs is a free web-based application in which students can create documents, edit, do writing together in one file and store them online. Students are asked to collaborate in pairs or groups to produce quality writing as part of the collaborative writing method. This study aims to use Google Docs to help students write collaborative writing recount texts and determine how groups should be organized.
This research use Classroom action research (CAR) based on Kemmis & Mc Taggart's design. The steps of action research were planning, implementing the action, observing, and reflecting. In tha stage of reflecting, this research used the Reflection from Graham Gibbs (1988) in the reflection stage, which consists of description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and action plan.
After implementing collaborative writing through Google Docs as a media, the result showed an improvement in students writing ability. The problem in cycle one is that there were students confused, didn't have data internet, didn't have enough space to download Google Docs, and were uncomfortable with their group. In the writing stage, many students that wrong grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization. To overcome that problem, the researcher gave some treatments such as sharing the data internet, for the students who didn't have enough space in their phones could join their friends and reshuffle the group to make students feel comfortable. The researcher explained to them the use of Google Docs for repairing grammar and spelling in writing. The researcher often reminds them to always pay attention the punctuation and capitalization in writing.
In cycle two, the students were comfortable using Google Docs until many changes occurred in cycle two. For example, when students did the discussion, they divided the tasks when the teacher gave an assignment to them. After the researcher changed the form of grouping, they showed mutual engagement, which is needed in group work. Furthermore, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization have improved because they know how to handle and fix their writing, and the students are fast to do their tasks, making them save time.
