Dalam penelitian ini, populasinya adalah seluruh siswa kelas VIII di SMP LAB UNDIKSHA Singaraja, Buleleng-Bali pada tahun akademik 2013/2014. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah kelas VIII-3 sebagai kelas eksperimen dan kelas VIII-4 sebagai kelas kontrol yang ditentukan melalui Random Sampling Technique. Data yang diperoleh dalam penelitian ini adalah hasil dari posttest menulis yang dilaksanakan setelah perlakuanselesai dilakukan.Berdasarkan hasil analisis statistik deskriptif diperoleh hasil bahwa nilai rata-rata kelas eksperimen adalah 84,19 dan nilai rata-rata kelas kontrol adalah 76,11. Ini mengindikasikan bahwa kelas eksperimen lebih baik daripada kelas kontrol dalam menulis karena memperoleh nilai rata-rata yang lebih tinggi. Sementara, hasil dari analisis statistik inferensial menunjukkan bahwa nilai to adalah 2,247, yang lebih tinggi daripada nilai tcv pada 2,00 (level signifikansi 5%).

The samples of this study were class VIII-3 as the experimental group and class VIII-4 as the control group which were determined by using Random Sampling Technique. The data of this study were obtained from the result of writing posttest conducted after the treatments were finished. Based on the result of descriptive statistic analysis, it showed that the mean score of Experimental group was 84.19 and the mean score of control group was 76.11. This indicated that the experimental group performed better than the control group due to the higher mean score. Meanwhile, the result of inferential statistic analysis through independent sample t-test showed that the value of to was 2.247, which was higher than the value of tcv at 2.00 (significance level 5%). Thus, it can be concluded that the implementation of diary writing technique had the significant effect toward the students’ writing competency.
