Penerapan Model Round Table Berbantuan Media Dadu Bergambar untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Bahasa Indonesia di Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

This research is motivated by the low writing skills of fourth grade students of SDN 109 Centeh in expressing their thoughts into writing, and students have difficulty in choosing words which results in inconsistencies in Indonesian writing rules. Based on a preliminary study of 27 students, there are 20 students who have 
not reached the Learning Objective Achievement Criteria. This study aims to test the Round Table learning model assisted by pictorial dice media on students' writing skills, and to see whether there is a significant average increase in the Round Table learning model assisted by pictorial dice media on writing skills. This 
study uses a quasi-experimental method with a nonequivalent control group design. The sample in this study consisted of 39 fourth grade students divided into two classes, namely 19 students in the experimental class and 20 students in the 
control class. The writing skills of students in the experimental class who applied the round table model assisted by pictorial dice media obtained an average pretest score of 61 and an average posttest score of 84.05. Meanwhile, the writing skills of students in the control class who applied the direct instruction model obtained an average pretest score of 58.55 and an average posttest score of 69.40. In the results of the Mann-Whitney posttest data test, it was found that the asymp.sig.2 (tailed) value was <0.001, which means <0.05. So there was a difference in the 
posttest score results between the experimental class and the control class. The round table learning model assisted by pictorial dice media was more efficient in improving writing skills than using the direct instruction model.
