Improving the Ability to Write Descriptive Texts Using the Example Non-Example Model Assisted by Picture Card Media in Indonesian Language Learning for Grade II Students of SDN 01 Sasak Ranah Pasisie, West Pasaman Regency

Abstrak

This research is motivated by the low writing ability of students in class IIB SDN 01 Sasak Ranah Pasisie, West Pasaman Regency. This is caused by the following factors in the Indonesian language learning process: (1) students still pay less attention to teachers in learning. (2) Students have difficulty understanding the material on writing descriptions. (3) lack of student interest in writing, because students consider learning Indonesian to be easy and boring. (4) students still often ask teachers about things that must be written in describing objects around them. (5) lack of teacher variation in using methods or techniques in learning to write. The purpose of this study is to describe the learning process of descriptive writing skills through the Example Non-Example learning model assisted by picture card media in class II B SDN 01 Sasak Ranah Pasisie and to describe the increase in the value of learning outcomes in descriptive writing skills through the Example Non-Example model assisted by picture card media in class II B SDN 01 Sasak Ranah Pasisie One way to increase students' interest and ability in writing descriptions is to use the Example Non-Example model assisted by picture card media that emphasizes cooperation between students in achieving learning objectives. The Example No-Example learning model is a learning model that uses examples in the form of images in the learning process and can attract students to focus more on learning. Komalasari, (2010:61) stated that the Example Non-Example learning model is a learning model that teaches students about problems around them through analysis of examples in the form of pictures, photos. This type of research is Classroom Action Research (CAR). Classroom action research is research that explains the cause and effect of treatment, while explaining what happens when treatment is given, and explaining the entire process from the beginning of treatment to the impact of the treatment. According to Pahleviannur (2022:3) CAR is a scientific activity carried out by teachers in their own classes by designing, implementing, observing, and reflecting on actions through several cycles collaboratively and participatively which aim to improve or enhance the quality of the learning process in the classroom. Based on the results of the research analysis, it can be concluded that the Example Non Example model Assisted by Picture Card Media in Indonesian language learning for class IIB SDN 01 Sasak Ranah Pasisie can improve students' descriptive writing skills. The test results obtained in cycle I which was carried out in two meetings with an average of 64.7 with a percentage of 45% and cycle II was carried out in two meetings with an average result increasing to 78 with a student completion percentage of 80%. Based on the results of the observation, it can be seen that the average percentage of teacher activity in cycle I was 74% increasing to 80% in cycle II. On the student activity observation sheet, the average percentage of cycle I was 69% increasing to 79% in cycle II. The results of the research obtained by the researcher, it can be concluded that using the Example Non-Example model can improve students' descriptive writing skills in class IIB SDN 01 Sasak Ranah Pasisie
