Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating technology-based applications in enhancing students’ creativity in writing short story texts among ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Medan. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, the research was conducted in four iterative phases: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants comprised 30 students from Class IX-9. Data were collected through observations, questionnaires, interviews, and writing skill assessments via pre-tests and post-tests. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were employed to assess changes in students’ creative writing abilities. The findings demonstrate a substantial improvement: the pre-test average score was 68.5 with a classical completeness of 60%, while the post-test average rose to 82.3 with 86.7% completeness. Qualitative data further revealed increased student motivation and engagement during writing activities. Teachers reported that the technology-based tools effectively stimulated students' imagination and helped them produce more compelling narratives. The study concludes that incorporating technology into short story writing instruction significantly fosters students’ creativity and recommends its broader application as an innovative pedagogical strategy in language learning.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach in enhancing short story writing skills among ninth-grade students at SMP Negeri 8 Medan. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) method implemented in two cycles, the research involved 30 students from Class IX-6. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and writing tests, with sources drawn from both students and teachers. The analysis combined quantitative and qualitative descriptive techniques. Initial findings revealed a class mastery level of only 18.3% in the pre-cycle stage. Following the implementation of the TaRL approach, mastery improved to 65.7% in the first cycle and reached 86.4% in the second cycle. These outcomes demonstrate that the TaRL method significantly improves students’ ability to write short stories by aligning instruction with their actual comprehension levels. The approach effectively facilitated idea development, understanding of narrative structure, and enhanced use of language. Furthermore, TaRL fostered greater student engagement by providing personalized and targeted instruction. The study concludes that the TaRL approach is a powerful pedagogical tool for improving creative writing competencies and should be considered for broader application in writing instruction across educational settings.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the project-based learning model in enhancing students' ability to write observational report texts in Class IX-10 at SMP Negeri 8 Medan. The research addresses the problem of students’ low proficiency in composing observational reports that meet structural and linguistic conventions. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the study was conducted over two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were gathered through writing tests, classroom observations, and interviews, and analyzed using a combination of descriptive quantitative and qualitative methods. The participants were 29 students (13 males and 16 females). The findings indicate that the implementation of the project-based learning model led to measurable improvements in students’ writing performance. In the first cycle, students demonstrated moderate progress, while the second cycle showed significant gains, with most students surpassing the minimum competency threshold. Students also displayed increased engagement and autonomy in the learning process, alongside enhanced skills in organizing, analyzing, and reporting observations coherently. These results suggest that project-based learning fosters active learning, critical thinking, and sustained motivation, making it an effective pedagogical approach for developing writing skills, particularly in the context of observational report texts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of integrating Quizizz as a digital learning medium to enhance students’ mastery of structural and linguistic features in discussion texts, specifically targeting Class IX-8 students at SMP Negeri 8 Medan. Employing a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design with both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the study involved 31 students whose learning outcomes were evaluated through formative assessments, observations, and student response questionnaires. Prior to the intervention, the average pre-test score was 86.2, with 67.7% of students scoring ?85. Following the implementation of Quizizz across learning cycles, the average post-test score rose to 92.5, with 71% scoring ?90. In the experimental setting, scores further improved to an average of 93.6, with 83.9% of students attaining ?90. Survey results revealed that 77.4% of students believed Quizizz enhanced their understanding of the material, while 90.3% appreciated its real-time feedback. The gamified elements of Quizizz—such as point systems and leaderboards—were shown to increase motivation and foster a more interactive, engaging learning experience. The findings underscore Quizizz’s potential as an effective digital tool to support academic achievement in language learning, particularly in the context of discussion text writing.
