Pengaruh Audiobook terhadap Keterampilan Menulis Materi Cerita Rakyat pada Siswa Kelas V di MIM 05 Warulor

Abstract

Writing is an important skill that every individual must master to convey information, express themselves, and develop creativity. In the digital era, writing skills are increasingly vital due to the expansion of the scope of online communication. This research aims to investigate the effect of using audiobooks on improving the folklore writing skills of class V students at MIM 05 Warulor. The method used is One Group Pretest-Posttest, which involves one class as the research sample. At the pretest stage, students' writing skills were measured before the audiobook intervention, and then measured again at the posttest stage after listening to the audiobook. The results showed a significant increase in the writing scores of the experimental group compared to the control group. The normality test shows that the control group data tends to be normal, while the experimental group data is not normal. This indicates that there are other factors that influence the results. This research confirms that audiobooks can improve students' writing skills, creativity and imagination. Therefore, audiobooks can be considered as an effective learning method in teaching writing folk tales, helping students in composing words, developing story ideas, and compiling good writing structures.
