Writing skills are one of the essential basic competencies in developing students’ communication abilities, creativity, and critical thinking. However, observations show that many seventh-grade students struggle to write short stories in a systematic and engaging manner due to low motivation, limited vocabulary, and less interactive teaching methods. This study aims to improve the short story writing skills of seventh-grade students through the application of the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. The research was conducted in two cycles, consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages, involving 30 students as research subjects. Data were collected through writing tests, observation sheets, motivation questionnaires, and field notes, then analyzed using descriptive qualitative and quantitative approaches. The results revealed an increase in the average writing score from 66.7 to 81.2 after the intervention, with the paired t-test results (t = 93.48; p < 0.001) indicating a statistically significant difference. These findings demonstrate that the classroom action method is effective in enhancing students’ writing skills, learning motivation, and active participation. The study recommends implementing interactive, reflective, and collaborative learning strategies to improve the quality of writing instruction in junior high schools.

Learning results show that the method used is very effective as evidenced by the enthusiasm of students in participating in learning activities so that it can increase student enthusiasm for learning, especially in PAI subjects.  

During the PAI process, researchers saw that students did not play an active role during the learning process. Based on this problem, the aim of conducting this research is to find out how much influence the application of the Word Square type cooperative learning model has on the PAI learning activity of students at SMP N 3 Kinali. In this research, the type of research used by researchers is experimental research. From this experimental research, the researcher took a Quasi experimental design. The design is a Posttest Only Control design. Based on the results of the analysis of students' PAI learning activeness during the learning process by implementing the Word Square type cooperative learning model. In the learning process, students were seen paying attention and listening to the explanations given by the researcher and actively asking questions. The average result is 81.13. After data collection, it is then processed and hypothesis tested using the t-test. At the significant level α = 0.05. Test criteria: Accept Ha if tcount ≥ ttable and Reject H0 if tcount ≤ ttable. The results of hypothesis testing using the t-test show that the tcount value (21.5030) is greater than ttable (1.999). So, H1 is accepted, namely that there is an influence of implementing the Word Square type cooperative learning model on students' active PAI learning.

This research is motivated by the low activeness of student learning caused by learning that is still teacher-centered so that students do not actively participate in the learning process such as when the teacher asks questions no one raises their hand to answer the question, students also do not take the initiative to ask when the teacher does not understand what has been conveyed by the teacher, this is also caused by the use of monotonous learning strategies so that students feel bored and bored when learning takes place. The purpose of this research is to find out how much influence the use of Small Group Discussion learning strategies has on activeness study class VIII students at SMPN 1 Palupuh. This research is a Quasi-Experimental Design or quasi-experimental design. The design used is the Nonequivalent Control Group Design using quantitative data trends. The population in this study amounted to 60 people consisting of two classes. The sample for this study was class VIII 1 as the experimental class and class VIII 2 as the control class.
