PENGARUH METODE STORYTELLING TERHADAP KETERAMPILAN MENYIMAK PESERTA DIDIK PADA PEMBELAJARAN BAHASA INDONESIA KELAS IV SD SWASTA PAHLAWAN NASIONAL MEDAN

Abstract

Listening skills are an important language skill for elementary school students because they are related to the ability to understand and process information delivered orally. However, initial observations in the fourth-grade class at Pahlawan Nasional Private Elementary School Medan showed that students' listening skills were still not optimal, as indicated by difficulties in understanding information, answering questions, and maintaining attention during learning activities. This study aimed to determine the effect of the storytelling method on students' listening skills in Indonesian language learning in the fourth grade at Pahlawan Nasional Private Elementary School Medan. This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a nonequivalent control group design. The population consisted of 38 fourth-grade students from classes IV A and IV B, all of whom were selected as the sample using total sampling. Data were collected through observation and tests, while data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and independent samples t-test. The results showed that the mean posttest score of the experimental class was 85.21, while that of the control class was 70.71. The independent samples t-test resulted in a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.002 < 0.05. These results indicate a difference in students' listening skills between the experimental and control classes after the learning process, indicating that the storytelling method had an effect on fourth-grade students' listening skills in Indonesian language learning.
