Data collection techniques use questionnaires, tests, interviews, observation and documentation. Instrument testing uses validity and reliability. Prerequisite tests use the normality test and homogeneity test. Test the hypothesis in the form of a Paired Sample T-Test t test. To find out the distribution value of the t table, look at it based on df = 28 with a level of a = 0.05. Because the calculated t value > t table (86,252 > 1.70113) and Sig (2-tailed) 0.00 < 0.05, H0 is rejected. This means that the hypothesis states a significant influence regarding the use of audiovisual media on the ability to write short stories for class V SDN Tenggilis Mejoyo I Surabaya.
