Abstract

The low level of early writing skills among elementary students (letter completeness, proportion, neatness, speed) is exacerbated by conventional methods relying solely on static copying without movement demonstration or feedback. This study examines the effect of the Imitative Writing method on improving these skills. This quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design involved 48 first-grade students from Manggarupi Islamic Elementary School. The experimental group (n = 25) received Imitative Writing over 8 sessions (demonstration, guided imitation, direct feedback), while the control group (n = 23) used conventional static copying. Writing skills were measured with a valid 10-word test (CVR = 0.85) and reliable (inter-rater reliability = 0.88). Data were analyzed via normality, homogeneity, independent t-test, and N-Gain. Results showed the experimental group's mean posttest (81.6) was significantly higher than the control (64.3); t(46) = 9.43, p = 0.000, Cohen's d = 2.78 (very large effect). The experimental N-Gain was moderate (0.61), control low (0.24), with highest improvement in letter completeness (1.7 points). Therefore, Imitative Writing is proven effective with a very large effect on improving first-grade early writing skills. Implications: teachers should demonstrate writing, provide letter-by-letter feedback, and use large-lined exercise books. These findings also reinforce Bandura's social learning theory and Vygotsky's scaffolding principle in early literacy.

Abstract

This study aims to conduct a needs analysis as a foundational step for developing Project-Based Learning (PjBL)-based Augmented Reality (AR) learning media to enhance students’ critical thinking skills. This research employed a research and development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, focusing on the analysis phase. The participants consisted of 40 elementary school students and 5 teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and document analysis and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that students experience great difficulty in critical thinking while demonstrating very high interest in digital and interactive learning media. Teachers also reported a strong need for innovative instructional media and identified challenges in integrating technology into classroom practices. These results highlight a significant gap between current instructional approaches and the demands of digital-era learning. The novelty of this study lies in its emphasis on needs analysis as a basis for integrating PjBL and AR in instructional design. The study implies that the development of AR-based PjBL learning media has strong potential to enhance student engagement, support critical thinking, and create more meaningful learning experiences.
