STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS OF PADLET APPLICATION AS LEARNING MEDIA TO IMPROVE STUDENTS NARRATIVE WRITING SKILLS
Abstract
Writing as a complex skill that combines creativity, organization of ideas, and adherence to language rules. However, many junior high school students still face difficulties writing narrative texts. This research aims to explore students’ perceptions of Padlet as learning media to improve students narrative writing skills. A qualitative method with a case study approach was employed. The participants were 20 students in the 9th grade for the questionnaire and five students for the interviews. The findings revealed four main results: (1) Determining effectively the main idea or theme of the narrative story; (2) selecting appropriately characters and settings of the narrative story; (3) organizing effortlesly the content of the narrative story; (4) identifying simpler moral messages of the narrative story. Therefore, it is concluded that Padlet is an interactive, visual, and effective learning media to improve the narrative writing skills of junior high school students.
