Media Pembelajaran Gambar Seri Berbasis Kearifan Lokal Kediri Untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan Menulis Teks Narasi Siswa

Abstract

Indonesian language education plays a vital role in developing students' literacy skills from an early age, particularly in writing. However, writing is often perceived as difficult because it requires systematic thinking and creativity. Therefore, teachers need to utilize engaging and contextually relevant learning media. One alternative is the use of picture series media based on Kediri's local wisdom. This media not only helps students visualize story structures but also introduces cultural values that shape character. This study aims to describe the use of picture series media incorporating local cultural elements in narrative writing instruction. The results show that this media effectively increases students’ motivation, creativity, and writing abilities. Thus, picture series media rooted in local culture can serve as an effective tool for creating contextual and meaningful Indonesian language learning.
