Strategi VERO dalam Pembelajaran Menulis Teks Laporan Hasil Observasi

Abstract

Students’ ability to write observation report texts (LHO) at the senior high school level still faces challenges, particularly in developing factual ideas and organizing text structure systematically. This article aims to examine the integration of the VERO strategy (Venn Diagram–Round Table) as an alternative in teaching observation report writing. This study employs a qualitative approach using a conceptual review method based on theoretical and empirical analysis from relevant literature sources. The findings indicate that the Round Table technique facilitates idea development through collaborative activities, while the use of Venn diagrams helps students organize ideas logically and systematically. The integration of these two strategies within VERO successfully addresses students' difficulties in both content and structure simultaneously, while fostering critical thinking skills through a blend of social and cognitive-visual dimensions. In addition, this strategy supports students’ active engagement through interaction and group collaboration. However, this strategy is more effective when applied to comparative texts and requires effective time management in its implementation. Therefore, the VERO strategy not only serves as an alternative instructional approach but also offers potential for further development and empirical validation in broader text-based writing contexts.
