Abstract

According to several previous researchers, students' critical thinking skills are underdeveloped because learning is more teacher-centered. This study aims to determine the significant effect of the Role Playing learning model on the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Muara Batang Gadis. This research was conducted at SMP Negeri 1 Muara Batang Gadis from May 10 to June 12 in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year. The research method used in this study was quasi-experimental, and the research sample consisted of 29 students. The data collection techniques used were speaking skill tests, observation, and documentation. The main instrument used was a speaking skills test with five indicators of speaking skills, namely voice volume, fluency, intonation, pronunciation, and courage, which were then analyzed using a t-test. The results of the hypothesis test using SPSS version 26 software obtained significant data, namely 0.000 < 0.05, so H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. This shows that there is a significant effect of the Role Playing learning model on the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Muara Batang Gadis. The implication of this study is that the application of the Role Playing learning model has an effect on the speaking skills of seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Muara Batang Gadis.
