Abstract

The past decade researchers found that students’ have positive perspective towards ICT in writing. It is believed that blogs facilitated academic writing by providing learning space for students inside and outside the classroom. This research is aimed to find out students’ perspective of the use of blogs in academic writing. The participants of this study were 34 students of the 8th semester students of English Education Study Program of Sriwijaya University. The data were collected online via google form. The instrument in this research is using the 4-level Likert scale for the items – Strongly Disagree, Disagree, Agree and Strongly Agree. The 4-level scale was used to eliminate the neutral point in order to elicit a definite decision and provides a better measure of the intensity of participants’ attitudes or opinion. The questionnaires consist of 30 questions and were divided into two sections. In the first section closed-ended questionnaire were used in order to find out students’ perception on blogging which was adopted from Said et al. (2013). Another questionnaires were adopted from Cequeña (2013), and Mabuan (2018) to further find out students’ perception on the benefits of blogging. The second section, four open-ended questions were asked to follow up students’ answers from the questionnaire: 1) Students’ opinions in using blog as a mean of learning academic writing, 2) Students’ opinions between their motivations and related to the use of blogging as a mean of learning academic writing, 3) The benefits of blogging, 4) The disadvantages of blogging. The results shows that students had a positive perception towards the use of blogs in learning academic writing. Furthermore, blogging facilitates peer-assessment that further improve students’ writing mechanics and increase their self-esteem which resulting in boosting their motivation to write more.
