Abstract

The accurate use of the past tense is a crucial linguistic element in writing recount texts. This study aims to describe changes in past tense usage in recount texts before and after using the QuillBot Grammar Checker AI, as well as how students utilize the tool to identify and revise grammatical inaccuracies during the writing process. A qualitative descriptive approach focusing on implementation was employed, involving 26 students from the Office Management 3 class (Grade X) at SMK Wachid Hasyim 1 Surabaya. Data were collected through classroom observations, analysis of students' written work, and questionnaires. The results indicate that after using the QuillBot Grammar Checker AI, the students' use of the past tense changed, particularly regarding verb forms, tense consistency, capitalization, and spelling, although some inaccuracies requiring an understanding of the text's overall context persisted. The findings also show that students used the QuillBot Grammar Checker AI as an aid to recognize and correct grammatical errors based on the feedback provided during the revision process. Ultimately, the study suggests that while the QuillBot Grammar Checker AI can support the teaching and learning of recount text writing, its use requires teacher guidance to ensure students understand the rationale behind each grammatical revision made.

====================================================================================

Penggunaan bentuk grammatical past tense secara tepat merupakan salah satu unsur kebahasaan penting dalam penulisan recount text. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perubahan penggunaan bentuk grammatical past tense dalam recount text sebelum dan sesudah penggunaan QuillBot Grammar Checker AI serta mendeskripsikan bagaimana siswa memanfaatkan QuillBot Grammar Checker AI untuk mengidentifikasi dan merevisi ketidakakuratan gramatikal selama proses menulis. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif jenis implementasi dengan melibatkan 26 siswa kelas X Manajemen Perkantoran 3 di SMK Wachid Hasyim 1 Surabaya. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi kelas, analisis dokumen tulisan siswa, dan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa setelah menggunakan QuillBot Grammar Checker AI, penggunaan bentuk grammatical past tense pada tulisan siswa mengalami perubahan, terutama pada penggunaan bentuk kata kerja, konsistensi tense, kapitalisasi, dan ejaan, meskipun beberapa ketidakakuratan yang memerlukan pemahaman konteks keseluruhan teks masih ditemukan. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa siswa memanfaatkan QuillBot Grammar Checker AI sebagai alat bantu untuk mengenali dan merevisi ketidakakuratan gramatikal melalui umpan balik yang diberikan selama proses revisi. Temuan penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa QuillBot Grammar Checker AI dapat mendukung pembelajaran menulis recount text sebagai media pendukung pembelajaran, namun penggunaannya tetap memerlukan pendampingan guru agar siswa dapat memahami alasan di balik setiap revisi gramatikal yang dilakukan.
