Abstract

This study was motivated by the low descriptive writing skills of fifth-grade elementary school students, characterized by limited student participation, low motivation, and difficulties in expressing ideas in written form. The purpose of this study was to improve students’ descriptive essay writing skills through the use of realia media in Grade V of SDN JUNTI 2. This research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in three cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. The participants of the study were 29 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through observation, writing tests, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively to determine improvements in learning outcomes and classroom activities. The results revealed a significant improvement in students’ descriptive writing abilities in each cycle. The average student score increased from 5.89 in Cycle I to 6.41 in Cycle II and reached 8.00 in Cycle III. Student participation, motivation, and creativity in the learning process also improved through direct interaction with real objects. The findings indicate that the implementation of realia media effectively enhances students’ descriptive writing skills and creates more active and meaningful learning experiences. This study contributes to the development of innovative language learning strategies, particularly in improving elementary students’ writing competence through contextual and concrete instructional media.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop digital-based question card media and to examine its effectiveness in improving students’ ability to understand Pancasila values at Annysa Private Elementary School. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE model, which consisted of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects were fourth-grade students. The instruments used included expert validation sheets, student and teacher response questionnaires, as well as pretest and posttest assessments. The results indicated that the developed media was categorized as highly feasible based on evaluations by material, language, and media experts. During the implementation stage, there was a significant improvement in students’ learning outcomes, with the average pretest score of 52.55 increasing to 80.95 in the posttest. In addition, student and teacher responses to the use of the media were categorized as very good. The digital-based question card media also enhanced students’ engagement, motivation, and active participation in the learning process. Thus, the developed media proved to be effective and could be used as an innovative alternative in Civics (PPKn) learning to help students understand and internalize Pancasila values in a more contextual and applicable manner in their daily lives.
