Abstract

Feedback in writing is an important aspect since it is believed to be the factor of successful writing. Unfortunately, not all students have positive perception toward feedback on writing. Some previous studies found that feedback affected students’ writing self-efficacy, which is students’ judgement to their own capability in writing. This present study focuses on knowing and finding the correlation between students’ perception of writing and their writing self-efficacy level. This study is a quantitative research, specifically a correlational study. The data were gathered using two questionnaire sets to measure perception of feedback on writing and writing self-efficacy level. The subject of this study are students of English Teacher Education Department at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya year 2014, 2015 and 2016 who have been enrolled in writing course. The findings indicate that majority of students have positive perception of feedback on writing. Furthermore, the results showed that most of students have high writing self-efficacy level. The total score from both variables are calculated with Pearson Product Moment Correlation, using SPSS 16 for Windows. The value of Pearson coefficient is found to be 0.470 which indicates the positive and moderate correlation between students’ perception of writing and their writing self-efficacy level. Hence, the alternative hypothesis (HA) of this study which states that there is a correlation between students’ perception of writing and their self-efficacy level, is accepted. This correlation result indicates that the more positive the students perceive the writing feedback given, the more likely for them to have high writing self-efficacy level. Hence, teacher or lecturer of writing course needs to maintain the positive perception through giving positive feedback.
