Abstract

The rapid development of technology demands teachers to be creative and innovative in the learning process. Optimal use of technology-based learning media is an effective strategy to improve the quality of learning and student engagement. This study aims to improve descriptive text listening skills through the use of interactive Canva Edu media in sixth-grade students of SD Negeri 2 Sedayu in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is implemented in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 15 students. Data collection techniques were carried out through observation, learning achievement tests, student response questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis used qualitative analysis of the Miles and Huberman model and quantitative analysis to calculate the average and percentage of learning completeness. The results of the study showed an increase in student activity and learning outcomes. In the first cycle, the average score was 66.17 with learning completeness of 20%, while in the second cycle the average score increased to 90.37 with learning completeness reaching 93.33%. Thus, the use of interactive Canva Edu media has proven effective in improving the listening skills of descriptive texts of grade VI students at SD Negeri 2 Sedayu.

Abstract

Language plays a crucial role as the primary means of communication in human life. One of the language skills that students must master is listening, as this skill is fundamental to understanding spoken information. However, based on observations in sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Sudimoro, students' listening skills are still relatively low. This is indicated by the low average class score, which has not yet reached the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM), and the limited use of conventional learning media. Therefore, innovative, engaging learning media that aligns with technological developments are needed, one of which is the use of mini podcasts. This study aims to determine the effect of using mini podcasts on the Indonesian language listening skills of sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Sudimoro in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study used a quantitative approach with an experimental research type, namely a pre-experimental design in the form of a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design. The study subjects were 24 students. Data collection used a test method, while data analysis was conducted using descriptive and inferential statistics using the t-test. The results of the study showed an increase in students' listening skills, which was marked by an increase in the average score from 66.25 in the pretest to 83.13 in the posttest. The t-test results showed a calculated t value of 7.07 which was greater than the t table of 2.06 at a significance level of 0.05, so it can be concluded that the use of mini podcast media had a significant effect on improving the Indonesian listening skills of sixth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Sudimoro.

Abstract

Writing is an important language skill and relatively difficult for elementary school students to master, particularly writing descriptive texts. A pre-survey conducted in fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Temuwangi Pedan, Klaten, found that students' descriptive writing skills were still low, as indicated by low learning motivation, suboptimal student engagement, and learning outcomes often falling below the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM). One contributing factor is the use of conventional and less varied learning methods. Therefore, innovative learning methods are needed to encourage students to be active and creative in writing, one of which is the Show, Don't Tell technique. This study aims to improve descriptive writing skills through the application of the Show, Don't Tell technique in fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 1 Temuwangi Pedan, Klaten, in the 2025/2026 academic year. This study, a Classroom Action Research (CAR), was conducted in two cycles using the Suharsimi Arikunto model, encompassing planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The study subjects were 18 students. Data collection techniques used observation, tests, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. The results of the study showed an increase in students' descriptive text writing skills. In cycle I, learning completeness reached 77.78%, then increased in cycle II to 83.33%. In addition, the questionnaire results showed that students' responses to the application of the Show, Don't Tell technique were in the positive category. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the Show, Don't Tell technique is effective in improving the descriptive text writing skills of fifth-grade students of SD Negeri 1 Temuwangi Pedan Klaten.

Abstract

This study aims to describe teacher innovations in increasing student learning interest through educational poster-based visual learning in Indonesian language subjects. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive research type. The study was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Bendo, Pedan District, Klaten Regency. Data collection techniques included non-participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation with the research subjects of the principal, Indonesian language teachers, and fifth-grade students. Data validity was tested through triangulation of sources and techniques. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data condensation, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that teacher innovations were carried out by creating a pleasant learning atmosphere, linking the material to the context of everyday life, holding question and answer sessions, using various learning media, and adjusting the lesson plan to students' abilities. The use of educational poster-based visual media was able to increase student learning interest as shown through feelings of joy, interest, attention, and active involvement of students in Indonesian language learning.
