Abstract

Learning outcomes in the Independent Curriculum for 4th grade Indonesian language
indicate that students are expected to be able to write narrative texts. However, observations on the
topic of writing narrative texts show that the majority of students are still not proficient in writing
narrative texts. Therefore, the researcher used the Perfected Spelling Application in an effort to
improve the skill of writing narrative texts.This research was conducted at SD Negeri 1 Kepanjen, Jl.
Kawi No.30 RT.10, RW.2, Kepanjen District, Malang Regency, East Java Province. The subjects of this
study were 33 students in class 4B. The data analysis technique used was qualitative descriptive
data analysis technique. The collected data included observation data, diagnostic assessments,
portfolios, and student learning outcomes. The indicators used as instruments in this study included
1) the use of Perfected Spelling, 2) the use of diction, 3) coherence in content and topic, and 4)
effective sentence writing.Based on the results of the classroom action research conducted, it can be
concluded that: 1) The students' writing organization was very low, only 12%. However, after this
research was conducted using the Perfected Spelling Application, the students' writing organization
increased to 76%. 2) In terms of content, the students were able to adjust the content of the story to
the topic, but the use of diction and effective sentences only reached 58% and 48%. After the
research, these percentages increased to 79% and 73% respectively. All the indicators of writing
skills in this study showed improvement. Thus, it is evident that the Perfected Spelling Application
can help improve the skill of writing narrative texts in the form of travel reports.
