The Learning of Writing Experience Stories for Elementary School Students in Banyumas Regency (Exploratory Study)

Abstract

Literacy is one’s ability to digest information through listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills. A child is expected to master the four skills and be able to implement them in everyday life. The four language skills are a unity that is closely interconnected. A person’s language reflects his thoughts. The more skillful one uses language, the clearer one’s mind is. That is why cultural literacy needs to be developed to acquire language skills. From the initial survey result, it is known that the ability of the elementary school students in Banyumas Regency in writing personal experience stories is still low compared to other literacy skills. Therefore, the development of effective learning model to improve writing skill is needed. The development of learning model needs to be done because not all learning models can be effectively used in class. One of the learning models of writing experience stories that can be developed is a learning model of writing dialogue-based stories, uses a scientific approach, and contains edutainment elements. With this model, the learning of writing experience stories is easier to be applied by teachers, interesting, and fun for students.
