Abstract

The increasing ease of access to information has the potential to introduce new challenges in selecting accurate information. Therefore, students need to be equipped with critical literacy skills to obtain accurate and reliable information. This study focuses on how critical literacy is introduced, trained, and/or practiced in the school environment, particularly in Indonesian language learning. This research is a narrative inquiry that describes all research experiences, including initial observations, research planning, and research results, in narrative form with more flexible sentence structures. The research was conducted in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The data used in this research are qualitative and were collected through interviews, document analysis, and observation. Focus Group Discussions were conducted with literacy and language learning experts and junior high school Indonesian language teachers. The research findings indicate that Indonesian language-teaching practices have begun to incorporate literacy skills but have not yet reached an optimal critical stage. Teaching involves understanding discourse, vocabulary, sentences, and texts; understanding explicit and implicit information in texts or intertexts; drawing conclusions and making connections between texts or intertexts; and conveying information from texts in other forms.

Abstract

This is a Classroom Action Research (CAR) aimed at enhancing the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri Satu Atap 3 Dusun Hilir through the implementation of the Role Play method. The background of the study is based on the students' low speaking abilities, which are evident from their shyness, lack of self-confidence, flat intonation, unclear pronunciation, and limited vocabulary. Initial observations revealed that only 25% of the students met the Minimum Completeness Criteria (KKM) of 70, with an average score of 64.63. This situation indicates the necessity for the application of active learning strategies that provide students with opportunities to practice speaking in a pleasant environment. The study is a PTK study that is carried out in two phases and uses the Kemmis and McTaggart design models, conducted over two cycles. Each cycle includes stages of planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The subjects of the study consisted of eight students (5 males and 3 females). Data collection techniques involved observation, speaking ability tests, interviews, and photographic documentation. The assessment instruments covered six aspects: pronunciation, intonation, vocabulary, sentence structure, expression, and courage, with a scoring range of 1–4. Data analysis was performed using both quantitative and qualitative descriptive approach-es, with validity tested through source and technique triangulation. The results of the study indicate that the Role Play method is effective in improving students' speaking abilities. The average score increased from 64.63 (pre-cycle) to 70.63 (cycle I) and 77.38 (cycle II). The percentage of learning completeness also rose from 25% to 62.5%, and then further increased to 87.5%. Qualitatively, students became more courageous, confident, expressive, and capable of using good intonation and pronunciation. Learning activities became more vibrant, collaborative, and aligned with the dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile.  Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Role Play method is a strategic approach to enhance students' speaking skills.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance students’ short story writing skills through the implementation of a process approach among Grade IX A students at SMP Negeri 1 Dusun Utara. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, conducted in two cycles. Each cycle comprised four stages: planning, implementation of actions, observation, and reflection. The participants of the study were 30 students from Grade IX A. Data were collected through pre-action tests, observations, and evaluations of students’ written works after the intervention. The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ short story writing skills following the application of the process approach. The Minimum Mastery Criterion (KKM) was set at 70. In the first cycle, the average score for students’ writing skills was 70, while in the second cycle, the average score increased to 83. This improvement encompassed four main aspects assessed: theme, orientation, complication, and resolution. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the process approach is effective in improving the short story writing skills of Grade IX A students at SMP Negeri 1 Dusun Utara.
