Abstract

The investigation attempted to investigate the different interventions using digital graphic organizers (x1) , paper graphic organizers(x2),free writing (x3) on writing score of low (y1) , moderate (y2), and of high level proficiency learners (y3). The 45 participantswere L2 learners at UIN Tulung Agung consisting of low level proficiency learners (n=13), moderate level proficiency learners (n=21), high level proficiency learners (n=11). The study belonged to a pre-post quasi-experiment using factorial design. The data were analysed using Manovatest. The analysis demonstrated that a significant difference effect occurred between teacher’s interventions (Digital Graphic Organizer (DGO), Paper Graphic Organizer (PGO) and Free Writing (FW)) on the learners’ writing test scores (low, moderate, and high level of proficiency), F (2, 45) = 0.075, p = 0.000; Wilk’s lambda = 35.363, partial eta squared = 0.726. It meant that all interventions (DGO, PGO, and FW) gave facilitative effect to the learners’ writing test scores (low, moderate, and high level of proficiency) at higher education. The study accepted the ho stating that there were no interaction effect amongst intervention using graphic organizers in argumentative writing at the low, moderate and high level of writing proficiency learners, and rejected the alternative hypothesis. Based on the finding, the most appropriate technique was Digital Graphic Organizer (DGO), followed by Paper Graphic Organizer (PGO) and Free Writing (FW) to all level of learners’ proficiency writing. The finding contributed to the body of knowledge especially to theschemata theory.
