This research concerned with The Effect of Quantum Learning Method on the Grade VIII Students Achievement in Writing Recount Text. This study used the experimental design. The population of the study was the students of SMP Negeri 2 Siempat Nempu. There were sixty students from two classes as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with two groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by applying Quantum Learning while control group was taught without Quantum Learning Method. The data of the study were obtained from the students score of writing test. There were two data used in this study. They were pre-test and the post-test. The data were analyzed by applying t-test formula. The calculation shows that t-observed (4.729) was higher than t-table (2.000) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 60. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected and alternative hypothesis is accepted. It means that teaching writing by applying Quantum Learning Method has more significant effects than without using Quantum Learning Method.
