Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of using image media on improving poetry writing skills among Grade VI students at UPT SPF SDN 101763 Klumpang Kampung, Hamparan Perak Subdistrict, during the 2025/2026 academic year. The subjects included two classes, VIA and VIB, consisting of a total of 48 students. The study employed a quantitative pre-experimental design using the One Group Pretest-Posttest method. The research stages began with a pretest to measure the initial poetry writing skills of students. Subsequently, the students were taught using image media as visual aids. After the intervention, a posttest was conducted to evaluate learning outcomes. Statistical analysis revealed significant differences between pretest and posttest results. The findings indicate that image media significantly influenced the improvement of students' poetry writing skills. The average posttest score for VIA increased from 65.23 to 82.45, while the score for VIB rose from 64.85 to 81.78. The use of image media proved effective in helping students understand abstract concepts, stimulate imagination, and express ideas creatively in poetry. Aspects such as word choice (diction), poetry structure, and imagery showed significant improvement. In conclusion, image media is not only relevant but also highly effective in teaching poetry writing. It provides an engaging learning experience and motivates students to be more active and creative. Thus, the use of image media is recommended as an innovative approach to enhance the quality of Indonesian language learning, particularly in developing poetry writing skills

Abstract

This research is motivated by initial observations that indicate that sixth-grade students still experience difficulties in writing poetry, especially in word choice, use of figures of speech, and understanding the structure of poetry. This research was conducted at SDN 06 Rantau Utara, Labuhan Batu Regency in the 2025-2026 academic year. The research subjects were sixth-grade students. The research instruments used included observation sheets to observe student activities during learning and poetry writing skills tests (pre-test and post-test) to measure the improvement of students' poetry writing abilities. Data collection techniques used were observation, tests, and documentation of student work. Data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative analysis was carried out by comparing the average pre-test and post-test scores and the percentage of student completion in each cycle. Qualitative analysis was carried out by analyzing the results of observations and documentation to determine the processes and obstacles faced by students during learning. The results showed that the implementation of the "Sambung Kata" game can improve the poetry writing abilities of sixth-grade students at SDN 06 Rantau Utara. Quantitatively, there was an increase in the average poetry writing test score from cycle to cycle. This increase was also seen in the percentage of students who achieved learning completion. In cycle I, the percentage of students who completed was only 25%, but increased to 85% in cycle II. Qualitatively, the results of observations showed that students were more active and enthusiastic in participating in poetry writing learning after the implementation of the "Sambung Kata" game. They also appeared more creative in choosing words and using figures of speech in their poems. This game proved effective in improving students' vocabulary and word choice, which ultimately had an impact on improving poetry writing skills

Abstract

This research is driven by the significant shift in teacher roles from primary information providers to facilitators within student-centered learning models, which inherently alters classroom social dynamics. The study aims to identify the types of social dimensions in teacher-student interactions, analyze their realization through a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) lens, understand the underlying ideologies, and compare theoretical frameworks with actual classroom implementation. Using a qualitative approach with Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) based on the theories of Teun A. van Dijk and Norman Fairclough, this study focuses on interactions in an eleventh-grade English class (Class XI Plus D) at SMA Negeri 1 Kutacane. Data were collected through observations of English teaching and learning sessions. The findings reveal four primary social dimensions: Power, Access, Dominance, and Control, which oscillate between hierarchical authority and collaborative engagement. While the teacher employs "soft power" and provides "access" to students, a "negotiated control" exists where the teacher remains the final arbiter, leading to a "mock democracy". The study concludes that a gap persists between the ideal student-centered model and practice, as interactions remain constrained by traditional patterns. Suggestions for future research include conducting longitudinal studies and incorporating "student voice" or multimodal analysis to gain a more holistic understanding of classroom power struggles

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of using picture word puzzle games on the beginning reading skills of grade II students of SDN 13 Bilah Barat. The background of this study is based on the low beginning reading ability of students due to less varied and interesting learning methods. This study uses a quantitative approach with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design, where the research subjects consisted of 22 grade II students. The research instruments were in the form of pretest and posttest tests, as well as observations during the learning process. The results of the data analysis showed that before the treatment, the average pretest score of students was 63.2, with only 36% of students achieving the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) of 70. After being given treatment using picture word puzzle games, the average posttest score increased to 81.4, with 86% of students achieving the KKM. Statistical analysis using the t-test showed that the t-count value (5.62) > t-table (2.08) at a significance level of 0.05, which means there was a significant difference before and after treatment. The results of this study indicate that picture word puzzle games have a positive and significant effect on students' early reading skills. With a more interactive approach, students become more motivated and active in learning. Therefore, the use of educational games such as picture word puzzles can be recommended as an alternative strategy in improving early reading skills in elementary schools

Abstract

The transformation of digital era learning necessitates the adoption of educational technology that is responsive to the cognitive characteristics of contemporary students. This study explores the comparative effectiveness of the Quizizz and Kahoot gamification platforms in improving the conceptual understanding of STKIP Budidaya Binjai students. Using a quasi- experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group involving ninety (n=90) students distributed into three groups: experimental group 1 (Quizizz, n=30), experimental group 2 (Kahoot, n=30), and a control group (conventional method, n=30). The learning intervention was implemented for eight weeks in the Indonesian Language Learning Strategy course. Data collection instruments included a conceptual understanding test, an academic engagement questionnaire, and participant observation. Significant findings indicated that the Quizizz group showed a 34.7% increase in mean scores (from 62.3 to 84.0), the Kahoot group increased by 28.5% (from 61.8 to 79.4), while the control group only increased by 12.3% (from 63.1 to 70.9). Academic engagement showed that 87.3% of students in the Quizizz group and 83.7% in the Kahoot group reported high motivation compared to 54.2% in the control group. The distinguishing characteristics of the two platforms—self-paced, self-paced learning on Quizizz versus real-time competitive learning on Kahoot—resulted in different learning outcome profiles: Quizizz excelled in deep understanding and long-term retention, while Kahoot excelled in immediate recall and class enthusiasm. The study recommends strategic integration of the two platforms based on specific learning objectives and pedagogical contexts. Implications of the study indicate the need for institutional support in technological infrastructure and faculty professional development to optimize gamification-based learning

Abstract

The application of the Two Stay Two Stray learning model can help students become more active during learning and better master the problems discussed. Two Stay Two Stray is a cooperative learning model that provides an opportunity for groups to share results and information with other groups. This model teaches students to actively discuss in groups and work together to discuss a problem. In this cooperative learning, learning groups are formed heterogeneously, both in terms of academic ability, gender, race, ethnicity, and so on, so that each group member can help each other, both in receiving and providing assistance. The emphasis is not only on completing tasks, but also on developing interpersonal relationships that are mutually respectful. Based on the results of the study, discussion activities using the Two Stay Two Stray learning model showed maximum results. Students showed significant improvements in aspects of courage, enthusiasm, clarity of speech, and sentence structure during discussions. They were also able to express opinions accompanied by rational reasons. The improvement in discussion results can be seen from the comparison of students' abilities before and after the implementation of the action. At the pre-action stage, students' discussion ability scores were still relatively low. Students looked passive, shy, and less active in discussions. They also lacked the courage to convey ideas or arguments and were less fluent in speaking. After being subjected to the action, students' abilities increased significantly. The results of this study indicate that the Two Stay Two Stray learning model has a positive influence on group discussion skills in the Indonesian Language subject. This model is effective in improving the discussion skills of fifth grade students of SD Negeri 10 Rantau Selatan, Labuhan Batu Regency, 2025-2026 Academic Year
