Abstract

This study was motivated by the low ability of fourth-grade students at UPT SD Negeri 064956 Medan to understand fable texts. Preliminary observations indicated that most students struggled to analyze the intrinsic elements of fables, showed low levels of participation and enthusiasm in learning, and were subject to predominantly lecture-based instruction, which failed to capture their interest. These conditions revealed a gap between the learning objectives and students' actual achievements, highlighting the need for innovation in the learning model. The population and sample comprised all 28 fourth-grade students of UPT SD Negeri 064956 Medan. Data were collected through fable comprehension tests (pre-test and post-test), observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ ability to understand fable texts after the implementation of the Jigsaw model. In Phase 1 (before the Jigsaw model was applied), the average comprehension score was 63. Of the 28 students, 18 (64.3%) had not yet met the Minimum Mastery Criteria (KKM) of 75, and only 10 students (35.7%) were in the “good” category (scores between 75–84). After applying the Jigsaw cooperative learning model in Phase 2, the average student score increased sharply to 88. All 28 students (100%) achieved scores within the “very good” category (85–100), successfully exceeding the KKM. This increase from an average of 63 to 88 strongly indicates that the Jigsaw cooperative learning model is effective in enhancing students’ comprehension of fable texts. This success is attributed to the characteristics of the Jigsaw model, which promote active participation, collaboration within expert groups, and individual responsibility in sharing knowledge. Questionnaires and interview responses also reflected positive feedback from both students and teachers, indicating that the model made the learning process more enjoyable, easier to understand, and helped develop students’ discussion skills and self-confidence

Abstract

This study investigated the effect of a card box game strategy on the speaking ability of young children in Group A (aged 4–5 years) at One-Roof Kindergarten SDN 146 Kayu Laut, Mandailing Natal Regency, Indonesia, in the 2025–2026 academic year. The intervention addressed low speaking skills characterized by limited vocabulary, reluctance to express opinions, and minimal oral interaction among peers. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. Fifteen children participated in four sessions of learning activities using a card box game, an educational medium containing thematic pictures and symbols designed to stimulate oral language. Speaking ability was assessed through observation on three indicators: mentioning familiar words, answering questions appropriately, and imitating writing and pronouncing letters. The mean pretest score was 48.00, with most children categorized as “Not Yet Developed” or “Starting to Develop”. After the intervention, the mean posttest score increased to 82.67, with a predominance of the “Very Well Developed” category. A paired-samples t-test yielded t(14) = 15.53, exceeding the critical value at the 5% significance level, indicating a statistically significant improvement. These findings demonstrate that the card box game strategy is an effective, play-based approach for enhancing young children’s speaking ability

Abstract

This study investigates the correlation between home reading habits and Indonesian language learning outcomes in identifying main ideas in reading texts among sixth-grade students. The research was motivated by observations of low home reading frequency and suboptimal achievement in determining main ideas in Indonesian texts. A quantitative correlational design was employed. The population comprised all 30 sixth-grade students of State Elementary School 357 Natal, Mandailing Natal Regency, in the 2025–2026 academic year; total sampling was applied. Data on home reading habits were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire, while learning outcomes in determining main ideas were measured through a validated achievement test. Both instruments met requirements of validity and reliability, and data distributions were normal and linear. The results showed a moderate, positive, and statistically significant correlation between home reading habits and Indonesian language learning outcomes (r = 0.5526, t = 3.507, df = 28, p < 0.01). The coefficient of determination indicated that home reading habits accounted for 30.5% of the variance in students’ scores for determining main ideas. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating regular reading practices at home, supported by parents and schools, to enhance reading comprehension—particularly the ability to identify main ideas in Indonesian language texts

Abstract

This study aims to develop contextual-based Indonesian language teaching materials to improve the reading ability of grade VIII students of SMP Negeri 7 Siobon, Mandailing Natal Regency. The background of this study is the low reading ability of students caused by the lack of interesting, contextual teaching materials, and in accordance with student needs and curriculum. This study uses a Research and Development (R&D) approach with a modified Borg and Gall development model. The development process was carried out through the stages of preliminary study, planning, product development, expert validation, limited trials, product revision, and field trials. The trial subjects were 30 grade VIII students, with data collected through validation questionnaires, student response questionnaires, and reading ability test instruments. The teacher's assessment also showed an average score of 4.2–4.5, which was categorized as good to very good. At the field trial stage, the average score of student responses to the teaching materials was 3.8 (good category), covering aspects of content suitability (3.98), language and image readability (3.7), material presentation (3.8), and visual appearance (3.7). In addition, from the results of the effectiveness test, there was an increase in students' reading ability based on the results of the pretest and posttest. Students showed an increase in scores on the indicators of the ability to find explicit and implicit information, and to conclude the contents of the reading. The developed teaching materials present contextual reading texts, reflective activities, evaluations, and exercises that are arranged based on a contextual approach by considering the students' environment and culture. Learning is arranged in stages and encourages students to think critically and actively in understanding the contents of the reading. Thus, the developed teaching materials are proven to be feasible, practical, and effective in improving the reading skills of grade VIII junior high school students

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing the playing method as a learning strategy in developing beginning reading skills in grade I students of State Elementary School 050 Malintang Julu, Mandailing Natal Regency, Academic Year 2025–2026. The main problem raised in this study is the low beginning reading ability of students due to the use of monotonous learning methods that are not in accordance with the characteristics of early age development. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, using a one group pretest-posttest design model. The research subjects were 22 grade I students. The instruments used included an initial reading test and a student activity observation sheet. Data analysis was carried out using the t-test and regression test using SPSS version 25. The results showed that the application of the play method had a positive impact on improving students' initial reading skills. The results of the t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results (t count = 1.717, t table = 1.720, α = 0.05). Although statistically the t count value was slightly smaller than the t table, the results of direct observation, positive correlation value (r = 0.186), and simple linear regression results Y = 102.943 + 0.254X indicated that the play method had an effect on improving student learning outcomes. The effect of the play method on initial reading skills was 35%, while the rest was influenced by other factors. Thus, it can be concluded that the play method is effectively used as a learning strategy to develop early reading skills in grade I elementary school students. This method is able to create a fun learning atmosphere, motivate students, and increase their activeness and involvement in the reading learning process

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the comparative results of Indonesian language learning through the use of PowerPoint and picture media on the writing ability of fourth grade students of State Elementary School 112 Parbangunan, Mandailing Natal Regency in the 2025–2026 Academic Year. The background of this study is the low writing ability of students due to the lack of variety of learning media used. Writing is a basic skill in learning Indonesian that needs to be developed early on because it is closely related to the ability to think, organize ideas, and communicate thoughts in writing. This study uses a comparative quantitative approach with a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The population of the study was all 40 fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 112 Parbangunan, divided into two groups: class IVA as the experimental group with PowerPoint media and class IVB as the control group with image media. The research instrument was a writing test given during the pretest and posttest. The data analysis technique used a normality test, homogeneity test, and t-test to determine significant differences between the two groups. The results showed that the average posttest score of students who learned with PowerPoint media was higher than students who used image media. Based on the t-test, the t-count value was 2.27 with a t-table of 2.024 at a significance level of 0.05. Because t-count> t-table, there is a significant difference between the two media. Thus, it can be concluded that PowerPoint media is more effective than image media in improving students' writing skills

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low learning outcomes in reading comprehension of short stories among fourth-grade students at SD Negeri 114 Pagaran Sigatal. The use of monotonous and conventional teaching methods made students tend to be passive and unenthusiastic during the reading comprehension process. To address this issue, the study aimed to investigate the effect of the Fun Learning method on students’ reading comprehension outcomes. This study was a quasi-experimental research using a control group pre-test post-test design involving 50 students, consisting of 25 students in the experimental class and 25 in the control class. The pre-test results showed that the average score of the experimental class was 69.2, while the control class was 69.72. After the treatment, the post-test average score of the experimental class increased to 80.2, while the control class only reached 75.4. The maximum score in the experimental class increased from 75 to 95, and the minimum score from 55 to 70. In contrast, the maximum score in the control class reached only 85, and the minimum was 68. The hypothesis test using the t-test showed that the t-value = 2.668 was greater than the t-table = 1.677 at the 0.05 significance level, indicating that H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. This means that there is a significant effect of using the Fun Learning method on improving students’ learning outcomes. Furthermore, this method increased students’ active participation, stimulated enthusiasm, and strengthened collaboration through singing and guessing-game activities. The advantage of this method lies in its ability to create an enjoyable learning atmosphere, motivate students to engage actively, and enhance their ability to comprehend texts more deeply. Therefore, the Fun Learning method is a worthy alternative instructional strategy to improve learning outcomes, particularly in reading comprehension skills at the elementary school level

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model on students' speaking ability in oral presentations about short stories in grade V of State Elementary School 108 Aekmata, Mandailing Natal Regency, Academic Year 2025–2026. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of one-group pretest-posttest type. The subjects of the study were all 23 fifth grade students, who were selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through speaking ability tests before and after treatment, and analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the t-test. The results showed that before the implementation of the PBL model, the average pretest score of students' speaking ability was 65.43. At this stage, the majority of students were in the "sufficient" (65%) and "less" (35%) categories, and only 9% achieved learning completion. After the implementation of the PBL model, there was a significant increase with an average posttest score of 84.82. The distribution of scores showed that 48% of students were in the "very good" category, 30% "good", and 22% "sufficient", and 87% of students achieved learning completion. Inferential statistical analysis with the t-test showed that the t-value = 4.016 was greater than t-table = 1.713 at a significance level of 0.05. This means that H₀ is rejected and H₁ is accepted, which shows that there is a significant effect of the implementation of the PBL model on improving students' speaking skills. This improvement is not only seen in academic grades, but also in affective and psychomotor aspects, such as self-confidence, fluency in conveying ideas, and active involvement of students in group discussions. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the Problem Based Learning model be used as an alternative in learning Indonesian to improve students' speaking skills, especially in oral presentations of short stories.

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low level of student motivation in story writing activities at SD Negeri 096 Manyabar, Mandailing Natal Regency. Observational data revealed that teachers still tend to use conventional methods and have not yet optimally utilized interactive learning media. As a result, the learning process becomes less engaging and students show passive behavior, particularly in writing stories with the theme “My Experience.” Writing is a productive skill in Indonesian language learning that requires motivational stimuli so students can creatively express their ideas and personal experiences. This study aims to examine the influence of interactive learning media on student motivation in writing “My Experience” stories. The research employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method. The sample consisted of 30 sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 096 Manyabar in the 2025/2026 academic year. Data were collected through observation, a motivation questionnaire, and documentation of students’ written work. The instruments were tested for validity and reliability before use. The results showed that the use of interactive learning media had a positive effect on students’ learning motivation. The average motivation score increased to 67.23 after the implementation of the media. A total of 86.7% of the students fell into the high motivation category. Furthermore, students' perceptions of the media averaged 59.27, indicating that they felt motivated and supported during the learning process. The increase in motivation was also reflected in students’ active participation in composing, writing, and presenting their personal experience stories. It can be concluded that interactive learning media not only assist teachers in delivering material but also serve as a motivational tool that enhances the attractiveness of the learning process and stimulates students’ creativity in writing

Abstract

In the digital era, the use of technology in education is an urgent need, especially in improving the quality of Indonesian language learning. This study aims to analyze the effect of the use of technology-based learning media on the learning understanding of class VI students of SDN 089 Panyabungan. The research method used is an associative quantitative approach with a simple linear regression design. Data were collected through distributing questionnaires and comprehension tests to 25 students, then analyzed using SPSS software version 24. The results showed that the use of technology-based learning media was in the good category with an achievement of 78.4%. The media used included learning videos, interactive presentations, and educational applications. The level of student understanding of the Indonesian language subject matter was also in the good category, with a percentage of 76.8%. Inferential analysis showed a t-count value of 5.987 which was greater than the t-table of 2.064 at a significance level of 5% (df = 23), so the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. This indicates a significant influence between the use of technology media and student learning comprehension. The regression equation obtained was Y = 12.74 + 0.625X, with a coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.527. This means that 52.7% of students' learning comprehension variables are influenced by technology-based learning media, while the remaining 47.3% are influenced by other factors such as learning motivation, family background, and learning environment. This finding shows that learning media is not just a visual aid, but plays an important role in clarifying concepts, increasing student engagement, and making the learning process more enjoyable.
