Abstract

Beginning reading ability is one of the basic skills that elementary school students in the lower grades need to master. This ability becomes an important foundation for students to participate in learning at the next level. However, some first-grade students still experience difficulties in recognizing letters, distinguishing letter forms, pronouncing letters, and reading words. One of the media that can be used to stimulate beginning reading ability is letter card media. This study aimed to determine the effect of using letter card media on the beginning reading ability of first-grade students at SD Negeri 69 Banda Aceh. This research employed a quantitative approach with an experimental method using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 32 students from class IB of SD Negeri 69 Banda Aceh who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observations of students' beginning reading abilities before and after the implementation of letter card media and through documentation. The data were analyzed using percentages and a t-test. The results showed that students' beginning reading ability before the use of letter card media obtained an overall percentage of 51.63%, categorized as sufficient, while after the implementation of letter card media, it increased to 87.25%, categorized as very high. The hypothesis test resulted in a t-count of 22.501, which was higher than the t-table value of 1.697 at a significance level of 0.05. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis was accepted and the null hypothesis was rejected. These results indicate that the use of letter card media had an effect on improving the beginning reading ability of first-grade students at SD Negeri 69 Banda Aceh.   Keywords: letter card media, beginning reading, elementary school students, reading ability

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Independent Curriculum learning module and to analyze students' learning motivation in Indonesian language learning for Grade X at MAN 3 Banda Aceh City. The study employed a qualitative field-research approach. The informants were an Indonesian language teacher and Grade X students, while the student sample was purposively selected from class X-1. Data were collected through interviews, observations, questionnaires, and documentation and were analyzed descriptively, with percentage calculations used to support the questionnaire findings. The results indicate that the Independent Curriculum learning module was implemented through its principal components, including module identity, learning outcomes and objectives, meaningful understanding, trigger questions, learning activities, assessment, and reflection. The module supported more student-centered learning through discussions, presentations, simple projects, diagnostic assessment, and reflection activities. Students demonstrated greater classroom participation, confidence, learning independence, and interest in Indonesian language learning. Although implementation was constrained by limited instructional time, differences in student ability, and limited supporting media, the teacher was able to adjust the learning activities to classroom conditions. Therefore, the implementation of the Independent Curriculum learning module can support students' learning motivation by providing learning experiences that are more flexible, meaningful, participatory, and responsive to learner needs.
