Penerapan Pembelajaran Bahasa Indonesia dengan Model Project-Based Learning sebagai Penguat Kemampuan Menulis Murid Kelas V Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the enhancement of students’ writing skills through the implementation of a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model aided by fictional story dioramas, covering lesson planning, implementation, as well as obstacles and efforts to overcome them in Indonesian language instruction. This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach with fifth-grade students at Kenep 03 Public Elementary School in Sukoharjo as the subjects. Data were collected through observation, document analysis, student work samples, and interviews. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of PjBL supported by dioramas can strengthen students’ writing skills, including the ability to identify and develop ideas, construct a coherent plot, use vocabulary and diction, compose sentences and paragraphs, apply proper spelling, distinguish between fictional and nonfiction elements, draft and publish written works, and boost self-confidence in presenting their work. Dioramas serve as concrete stimuli that help students visualize characters, settings, and sequences of events before translating them into writing. Thus, the implementation of PjBL provides a learning experience that supports the gradual and comprehensive strengthening of students’ writing skills.
