- The aims of this study were to investigate the effectiveness of using clustering technique in student writing report text at the third grade students of SMP N 4 Cilegon. The writer use quantitative research, quasi experiment research design in this research. The population of this research was 282 students. The writer collect data from 60 students as a sample in two class, one class as the experimental class and another class as control class. The experimental group was taught by using clustering technique. The instrument of collecting data was the written test. The experimental group was given pre-test and post-test. After the data has been collected, these were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result of the research shows that the hypothesis, that the null hypothesis is rejected its shown from statistical value that significant 5 %= 2,00, significant 1 % = 2,66 and the result of = 10,43. So, based on calculating the data of t-test, there was a significant effect of using clustering technique in students’ writing report text. Clustering technique helps students to generate more ideas for their writing because students have been cluster their own idea first. So the idea of writing could be easily stated.
