Abstract


This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Think Pair and Share (TPS) cooperative learning model assisted by storytelling dice media in enhancing short story writing skills among sixth-grade students. Employing a quantitative method with a pre-experimental design, the research was conducted at SDN Leuwiseeng I, Panyingkiran District, Majalengka Regency. The study utilised a one-group pretest-posttest design to assess the impact of the intervention. A total of 22 sixth-grade students participated in the study during the 2023/2024 academic year. The intervention involved implementing the TPS model in conjunction with storytelling dice as a creative stimulus for writing activities. Students' short story writing skills were evaluated based on content, organisation, grammar, vocabulary, and writing mechanics. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in students' writing performance. The mean score increased from 53.40% in the pretest to 80.68% in the posttest, indicating a substantial enhancement of 27.28% percentage points. This marked improvement suggests the effectiveness of the TPS model combined with storytelling dice in developing students' short story writing skills. The findings of this study contribute to the growing body of literature on innovative teaching methods in language education, particularly in the context of primary school writing instruction. The significant increase in student performance highlights the potential of cooperative learning strategies and creative media in fostering writing skills among young learners.
