Education Achievment : Journal of Science and Research Volume 5 Issue 2 July 2024 Page 278-283 Researcher has conducted observations at schools.
Based on observations that researcher conducted on students in eighth grade at SMPN37 Medan, students at this school experienced difficulties in writing, one of which was writing recount text.
This is caused by several factors such as lack of knowledge and understanding in writing, not having ideas for writing, students often make mistakes when writing due to lack of vocabulary knowledge and not paying attention to the grammar used when writing.
Researchers assume that this problem arises because of methods or techniques in teaching writing.
It is important to solve these problems so that students better understand the writing material.
The teacher's role must also be competent in teaching to improve students' understanding of writing, not just providing material to write without explanation, there is no approach to students to find out whether students can understand or not, and lack of appropriate methods or techniques.
This makes students lack understanding, lack interest, and motivation and makes students bored.
So they cannot extract more knowledge from the texts they write.
To help students solve these problems, interesting techniques are needed in teaching writing.
Many techniques or methods can be used for writing.
For this reason, the author proposes a "Two Stay Two Stray" technique.
According to Suprijono .
, "Cooperative learning Two Stay Two Stray is one part of the cooperative learning that puts students in small groups of up to four until five people".
This Technique can help the students enjoy and be active during the teaching and learning process, especially in writing.
By using Two Stay Two Stray in writing recount text, students were active in discussions, asked questions, sought answers, and also shared ideas in teaching teaching teaching-learning process.
So it makes it easy to understand and implement recount text in writing.
Anderson.
, & Anderson.
define a recount as a text that recounts historical events, typically in the chronological order that they happened.
Kagan .

states that "this technique is very effective because it can be used in all subjects and for all levels of learners age.
According to Suprijono .
, "Cooperative learning Two Stay Two Stray is one part of the cooperative learning that puts students in small groups of up to four until five people".
According to Knapp .
basically, recount text is written out to make a report about an experience of a series of related A recount is written out to inform an event or to entertain people.
From the explanation above, the researcher argues that the two stay two stray technique is a learning model that functions to solve problems together with group members and two students from the group exchange information with other group members, with students are more active and enjoy participating in learning, especially in writing.

RESEARCH METHODE
This research used a quantitative method.
According to Creswell .
, quantitative research is method for evaluating objective theories by evaluating the relationship between variables.
Researcher employe experimental design.
In this study, the experiment was carried out in two groups.
Where the experimental class uses the two stay two stray technique and the control class uses conventional techniques.
In this study, the data used were pre-test and post-test to find out whether there was an effect of using the two stay two stray technique on students' writing comprehension skills in recount texts at SMPN 37 Medan.

under study.
So, the sample is a portion of a population taken using a certain method that has the same properties and characteristics and can represent the entire population studied.
Research results that are successfully obtained from a sample produce conclusions later.
The sampling technique was carried out by researchers using random sampling.
Samples were taken from eight grade class A, totaling 23 students were the experimental class, and eighth grade C, totaling 23 students in the control class.
Research Instrument The instrument used by the researcher is a writing test.
validity Content A test's validity is determined by how well it allows its results to be translated into relevant and practical conclusions.
According to Best and Kahn .
, validity refers to an instrument's or procedure's ability to measure what it is intended to measure.
Normality Test Normality test used to know whether the data of the sample which was used in the research has a normal distribution or not.
According to Sudjana, .
normality test is conducted to know whether the data from the sample are normal or not.
Technique of Data Analysis To find out the result of the test and whether it is statistically significant, the researcher applied a t-test.
Arikunto .
states that to test the hypothesis, the T-test formula was used.
This formula is to know the effect of this research, the Education Achievment : Journal of Science and Research Volume 5 Issue 2 July 2024 Page 278-283 writer used a test, and this test is used to know whether the hypothesis of teaching writing by using two stay two stray technique is affected or not.
