Based on the results of initial interviews and observations, it was found that several students still experienced difficulties in writing procedural texts effectively. These difficulties included a lack of understanding of the structure and characteristics of procedural texts, challenges in expressing ideas in written form, limited ability to compose coherent and communicative sentences, and the use of monotonous learning models that failed to stimulate student motivation. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Project Based Learning (PjBL) model based on the Tri N approach (Niteni, Niroke, and Nambahake) to improve the procedural text writing skills of fourth-grade students at Sidomukti Elementary School, Ambal Sub-district, Kebumen Regency, as well as to identify the improvement in writing skills after its application. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques including observation, tests, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the application of the PjBL model integrated with Tri N values significantly improved students’ ability to write procedural texts. The learning process was carried out through six main stages of PjBL: formulating essential questions, planning projects, creating schedules, monitoring student activities, testing results, and evaluating learning experiences. The integration with Tri N principles encouraged students to understand, imitate, and develop their writing skills gradually. Thus, the PjBL model based on Tri N proved effective in helping students overcome writing difficulties while also fostering creativity, independence, and active participation in the learning process.

This research is entitled “Development of Student Worksheets (LKPD) Based on the Canva Application to Improve Procedure Text Writing Skills of Grade VII Students at Tiara Private Junior High School, Bandar Setia.” The background of this study is the low ability of students to write procedure texts, which is caused by the limited use of attractive and interactive learning media. To address this issue, the study developed a Canva-based LKPD designed to enhance students’ writing skills. The research method employed was Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, which consists of five stages: analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research instruments included validation sheets for material experts, language experts, and media experts, as well as questionnaires to gather responses from teachers and students. The validation results indicate that the Canva-based LKPD is highly feasible for use in learning, with a material expert validation score of 96.36%, language expert 87%, media expert 87%, teacher response 94%, and student response 92%. Furthermore, implementation results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ ability to write procedure texts, as evidenced by an increase in average scores from pretest to posttest. These findings suggest that the Canva-based LKPD is an effective and innovative learning medium that can facilitate students in improving their writing skills, particularly in learning procedure texts in Indonesian language classes. This research also contributes to the development of creative digital media for education in the current technological era.
