Development of Smart Apps Creator Learning Media to Improve Narrative Writing Skills of Students
This study aims to develop Smart Apps Creator (SAC)-based learning media to improve the narrative writing skills of grade IV students at Elementary School 1 Kertek. This research is motivated by the low ability to write students' narratives caused by the lack of interactive and interesting learning media in the Indonesian learning process. The research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE model, involving 26 grade IV students as development subjects and 10 grade V students as evaluators. The results of the study showed that the learning media developed obtained a very good level of feasibility, with the validation of material experts reaching 93%, media experts 94%, and practicality of practitioners 100%. Effectiveness tests using pretest and posttest showed a significant improvement in students' narrative writing skills, with an average N-Gain of 0.88. These findings prove that SAC media is effective in improving narrative writing skills and is able to create a more interactive, fun, and appropriate learning atmosphere in accordance with the needs and characteristics of elementary school students.
