Abstract

This study aims to improve writing skills in class IB students at SDN Manukan Kulon Surabaya. Based on pre-cycle reflections, it was found that learning to write for students was not optimal, as seen from the low activity of students in participating in learning and the low results of evaluation of students' writing. This study used classroom action research methods with two cycles, each cycle consisting of two meetings. This study involved teachers and first grade students at SDN Manukan Kulon Surabaya as research subjects. Data collection techniques used include tests, observations, interviews, and documentation. The results showed that the teacher's skills increased from the good category in the first cycle to the very good category in the second cycle. Student activity also increased from the good category in cycle I to the good category in cycle II. In addition, student learning outcomes in writing skills also increased. In cycle I, the average value of writing skills was 85 with a learning completeness percentage of 85%. In cycle II, the average score increased to 93 with a student completeness percentage of 93%. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the use of the TTW learning model can improve teacher skills, student activity, and students' skills in writing. It is recommended that teachers choose learning models and media that are appropriate to the subject matter. One recommendation that can be considered is to use the Think Talk Write learning model with audio-visual media to increase student activity in the learning process. Thus, this research contributes to improving the quality of learning to write in class IB SDN Manukan Kulon Surabaya. The results of this study can also be a reference for other teachers in selecting effective learning models and media to improve students' writing skills.
