Abstract

Indonesian language learning at the elementary school level faces challenges in increasing students’ engagement with local literature and folklore, particularly when learning remains oriented toward written texts. This study aimed to analyze the implementation of hand-puppet media to improve students’ listening and retelling skills while strengthening their understanding of local content through the legend of the “Origin of Madiun Regency.” The study employed Classroom Action Research conducted in two cycles involving 32 fourth-grade students at a public elementary school in Madiun Regency, East Java. Data were collected through language skills tests, systematic observations, interviews, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results showed an increase in classical learning mastery from 53.1% in the pre-cycle to 71.8% in Cycle I and 87.4% in Cycle II. The mean listening score increased from 64.2 to 86.5, while the mean retelling score increased from 58.9 to 83.1. The use of hand puppets also helped students understand the story sequence, develop oral expression, increase confidence in speaking, and recognize cultural values embedded in the local legend. These findings indicate that hand-puppet media can serve as an Indonesian language learning medium that integrates language skills with local cultural literacy.
