Abstract

The writing skills of second-grade students at SD Negeri 4 Made Lamongan remain low, as shown by approximately 60% of students who have not reached the Minimum Completeness Criteria, particularly in composing simple sentences and developing vocabulary. Indonesian language learning that is still dominated by lecture-based methods without varied media is one of the causes of students' low engagement. This study aims to produce a “Petualangan Kata” educational game media based on Word Search Maker that is valid, practical, and effective in improving the writing skills of second-grade elementary students. This study used the Research and Development (R&D) method with the ADDIE development model (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) and a Control Group Pretest-Posttest experimental design. The research subjects were 40 second-grade students of SD Negeri 4 Made, consisting of class II A as the experimental group and class II B as the control group. The results showed that the media was categorized as highly valid, with average scores of 3.76 from material experts, 3.84 from media experts, and 3.82 from design experts out of a maximum score of 4.00. The practicality of the media was also in the very good category, with student response scores of 3.75 in the small-group trial and 3.81 in the large-group trial. The t-test result obtained a significance value of 0.000 (< 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the experimental and control classes, while the N-Gain Score test showed a 73.66% improvement in the experimental class, categorized as high. This study concludes that the “Petualangan Kata” educational game media based on Word Search Maker is valid, practical, and effective for improving the writing skills of second-grade elementary school students.
