Keterampilan Menulis Teks Narasi Siswa Kelas IV Sekolah Dasar

Abstract

Character Narrative writing skills are one of the essential competencies in Indonesian language learning at the elementary school level, as they play a crucial role in developing students’ logical thinking, creativity, and self-expression. However, in practice, many students still experience difficulties in writing narrative texts, including limited vocabulary, disorganized storylines, and low learning motivation. This study aims to examine the influence of digital literacy on the narrative writing skills of fourth-grade elementary school students. The research employed a literature study method by analyzing various relevant sources, including textbooks, national and international journal articles, conference proceedings, and official educational documents related to writing skills, narrative texts, and digital literacy. Data were collected through a systematic literature search using academic databases such as Google Scholar, SINTA, and DOAJ. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative descriptive analysis through processes of data reduction, categorization, comparison, and synthesis of previous research findings. The results indicate that students’ narrative writing skills are influenced by both internal and external factors, such as low intrinsic motivation, lack of self-confidence, limited time for writing practice, and the use of monotonous teaching methods. Conversely, digital literacy has been shown to contribute positively to increasing students’ learning motivation, creativity, and ability to develop ideas, storylines, and appropriate language use in narrative texts. Therefore, it can be concluded that the integration of digital literacy in Indonesian language learning has a significant positive influence on improving the narrative writing skills of fourth-grade elementary school students and can serve as an effective alternative instructional strategy.
