Pengembangan Media Pembelajaran Berbantuan Note Taking untuk Meningkatkan Keterampilan dalam Menulis Cerpen pada Siswa Kelas XI SMK Musda Perbaungan

This study aimed to enhance short story writing skills among class XI students at SMK Musda Perbaungan. The population comprised 481 students, with a sample size of 32 students from class XI TKJ 1. Data collection involved observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Research followed the Borg and Gall's 10-stage research and development (R&D) model. Results indicated that note-taking assisted learning media could improve short story writing skills. Material experts rated the media as "Decent" (84% for expert 1, 78% for expert 2), while media experts rated it as "Very Decent" (91% for expert 1, 90% for expert 2). A field test with 32 students showed the effectiveness of learning media, particularly Google Keep, with an "Effective" rating of 80.09% for short story writing evaluation. This underscores the potential of note-taking assisted learning media in enhancing writing skills, suggesting its viability as an effective tool in classroom instruction for narrative composition.
