Abstract

This research is motivated by the low ability of students to convey the contents of fairy tales orally in a coherent, clear, and expressive manner. Learning is still dominated by the lecture method and does not actively involve students in speaking activities. The research method used is quantitative with a quasi-experimental approach. The data collection technique was carried out through a speaking skills test which was assessed based on indicators of fluency, mastery of content, intonation, expression, and story structure. Data were analyzed using the t-test and coefficient of determination. The results showed that the average value of students' speaking skills in the experimental class reached 90.88, while in the control class it was only 86.94. The t-test produced a T-value of 2.77> T-table 2.03 (α = 0.05), which indicates that Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted. This means that there is a significant influence of the application of the demonstration method on students' speaking skills. Furthermore, the correlation coefficient of r = 0.967 with a determination coefficient of R² = 0.935 indicates that 93.5% of the increase in students' speaking skills can be explained by the use of the demonstration method. The demonstration method has proven effective in creating an active, participatory, and enjoyable learning atmosphere. Students look more confident, enthusiastic, and able to convey stories with a logical structure and appropriate expression. The teacher acts as a model and facilitator, so that students gain direct and meaningful learning experiences. This study concludes that the demonstration method has a significant effect on improving students' speaking skills in retelling fairy tales. Therefore, this method is worthy of being used as an innovative alternative learning strategy in Indonesian language subjects in elementary schools

Abstract

This research was motivated by the low narrative writing skills of sixth-grade students at SD Negeri 012 Simangambat, which was indicated by a lack of creativity, completeness of content, and narrative structure in their writing. The conventional method, which mostly involved lecturing, proved insufficient to stimulate students’ imagination and interest in writing. This study used a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The sample consisted of two classes: the experimental class taught using the Imaginative Suggestion Method and the control class taught using conventional methods, each comprising 25 students (totaling 50 students). The primary instrument used was a narrative writing test based on indicators such as plot, content, organization, sentence structure, spelling, and punctuation. The data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test. The results showed that the average post-test score of students in the experimental class was 79.8, while the control class averaged 68.8. In the experimental class, 36% of students were in the "very good" category, 52% in the "good" category, and 12% in the "fair" category. Conversely, in the control class, only 12% were categorized as "very good," 52% as "good," and 36% as "fair." Hypothesis testing indicated that the calculated t-value (tₕ = 5.04) was greater than the critical t-value (tₜ = 2.01) at the 5% significance level, meaning H₀ was rejected and Hₐ was accepted. This implies a significant difference in the writing abilities of students taught using the Imaginative Suggestion Method compared to those taught conventionally. The strength of this method lies in its use of music to stimulate students’ emotional atmosphere and imagination, enabling them to express ideas and emotions more creatively in writing. Thus, it can be concluded that the Imaginative Suggestion Method has a positive and significant effect on improving the narrative writing skills of elementary school students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the scientific approach in improving the short story writing ability of grade IX students at MTs Pondok Pesantren Mawaridussalam, Deli Serdang Regency. The scientific approach consists of five main stages, namely observing, asking, collecting information, reasoning, and communicating. The main problem raised in this study is the low short story writing skills of students due to less interactive learning methods and less opportunities for exploration for students. The research method used is a quasi-experimental with a pretest-posttest control group design. The research sample consisted of 72 students divided into two classes, namely the experimental class that applies a scientific approach and the control class that uses the Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approach. Data were collected through short story writing tests before and after treatment, and analyzed using a t-test to test differences in learning outcomes for the two groups. The results showed that there was a significant increase in short story writing skills in the experimental class compared to the control class. The average posttest score of students in the experimental class was 84.91 with a variance of 31.33, while in the control class it only reached 73.03 with a variance of 18.54. The results of the t-test showed that t count 2.03> t table 1.99, which means that the use of a scientific approach has a significant effect on improving students' short story writing skills. The conclusion of this study is that the scientific approach is more effective than the CTL approach in improving students' short story writing skills. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers apply the scientific approach in learning to write short stories in order to improve students' creativity and understanding of the structure and techniques of writing short stories

Abstract

This study aims to improve Indonesian language learning outcomes in short story reading through the implementation of the Reading Guide strategy among fourth-grade students at SDN 105308 Namo Bintang, Deli Serdang Regency, in the 2025-2026 academic year. The research questions addressed are how the Reading Guide strategy is implemented in short story reading instruction and whether this strategy can enhance students' learning outcomes. This study employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) using the Kemmis & McTaggart model, consisting of two cycles. Each cycle included planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects comprised 20 fourth-grade students, including 7 boys and 13 girls. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and learning outcome tests. Data were analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques to assess improvements in students' learning outcomes. The findings indicate a significant improvement in students' learning outcomes following the implementation of the Reading Guide strategy. In the pre-cycle phase, only 20% of students achieved a score of ≥70. After the first cycle, this increased to 50%, and by the second cycle, 80% of students achieved good and excellent categories. Student engagement in learning also increased from 50% in the first cycle to 85% in the second cycle. These results demonstrate that the Reading Guide strategy not only enhances students' comprehension of short story texts but also encourages active participation in learning. Thus, this study confirms that the Reading Guide strategy is effective in improving students' learning outcomes in short story reading. This strategy can be an alternative in Indonesian language instruction to help students understand reading materials in a more structured and in-depth manner

Abstract

This research is motivated by initial observations at SD Negeri 153 Kayulaut, Mandailing Natal Regency, indicating low reading comprehension abilities among fifth-grade students in the 2025-2026 academic year. This study aimed to test the effectiveness of the Cooperative Learning model in improving the reading comprehension ability of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 153 Kayulaut. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was used in this research, involving 42 fifth-grade students divided into two groups: an experimental group (21 students) who received treatment with the Cooperative Learning model, and a control group (21 students) who continued with conventional learning. Data collection techniques included tests (pre-test and post-test), observation, and documentation. Data were analyzed using normality tests, homogeneity tests, and t-tests to determine the significance of differences between groups. In Cycle I, the average reading comprehension score for the experimental class was 59.62 with a classical completeness of 42.86%. This figure increased sharply in Cycle II to 69.14 with a completeness of 61.90%, and reached 77.19 with a classical completeness of 90.48% in Cycle III. This increase far surpassed the control class, which only showed an average of 53.24 (33.33% completeness) in Cycle I, 61.43 (47.62% completeness) in Cycle II, and actually decreased to 56.76 (14.29% completeness) in Cycle III, after a temporary increase. In addition to the improvement in learning outcomes, observations of experimental class student activity also showed consistent improvement, from an average of 58.75% in Cycle I to 72.5% in Cycle II, and reaching 85% in Cycle III. The research results indicate that the application of the Cooperative Learning model significantly improves the reading comprehension ability of fifth-grade students at SD Negeri 153 Kayulaut, Mandailing Natal Regency, Academic Year 2025-2026

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Take and Give learning model in improving reading learning outcomes in understanding descriptive text materials in grade IV students of State Elementary School 078 Panyabungan, Mandailing Natal Regency. The background of this study departs from the problem of low student learning outcomes in understanding descriptive texts, which is caused by the lack of active interaction in learning and the dominance of lecture methods that are still teacher-centered. For this reason, it is necessary to apply a learning model that is able to activate students in a participatory manner. The Take and Give model is a cooperative learning strategy that emphasizes the exchange of information between students. Each student is given a card containing learning materials, then shares information with fellow students in turns. This model is believed to train communication skills, foster self-confidence, and improve understanding of reading content through the process of repetition and re-explanation. This type of research is experimental research with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The research sample was all 28 fourth-grade students of SD Negeri 078 Panyabungan. The instruments used included multiple-choice learning outcome tests and student activity observation sheets. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results showed that there was a significant increase in student learning outcomes after the Take and Give learning model was implemented. The average posttest score for students was higher than the pretest score. In addition, student learning activities also increased, as seen from their active involvement in discussions and exchange of information during the learning process. The evaluation also showed that most students achieved scores above the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM), and the classical learning completion rate reached more than 85%
