Penggunaan Media Ajar Berbasis Digital untuk Meningkatkan Kemampuan Menulis Mahasiswa

Abstract

This research examines the application of the Kleas Action Assessment (PTK) method to improve students' writing skills using digital-based teaching media for semester 3 students. This activity aims to obtain initial data about students' conditions, abilities and activities in learning to write. Based on observations made by researchers before the action, it is known that the majority of third semester students at Riau Islamic University still experience difficulties in writing effectively. Of the total 38 students, only around 30% or 11-12 students have good writing skills. Meanwhile, 70% or 26-27 other students still look stiff, lack confidence, and have difficulty using digital media effectively. Students' low writing skills can be caused by several factors, including: 1. Lack of student interest and motivation in learning writing skillsLack of student confidence in writing. The increase in the percentage of students who got a score of 70 or more from Cycle 1 to Cycle 2 was 22%. This significant increase cannot be separated from the successful integration of digital learning media in the learning process. Based on the results of Cycle 2, it can be concluded that the use of digital learning media is effective in improving the writing skills of students in the third semester of the 2014/2015 academic year at Riau Islamic University. Technological approaches have driven increased engagement, collaboration, and personalized support, resulting in significant progress in students' writing skills.
