Abstract

The speaking skills of elementary school students form an important foundation for the development of advanced speaking abilities at higher levels of education and serve as a tool for communication and socialization in society. However, initial observations reveal that students' speaking skills in Indonesian language lessons are still relatively low. The research question in this study is whether the implementation of the think-pair-share learning model can improve students' speaking skills in Indonesian language lessons in grade III at SD Al-Washliyah Barus. The subjects of this study are third-grade students, consisting of 12 learners, including 7 females and 5 males.The aim of this research is to determine the improvement in students' speaking skills in Indonesian language lessons after applying the think-pair-share learning model. This research was conducted at SD Al-Washliyah Barus, located in Desa Kampung Solok. The type of research used is Classroom Action Research. The data collection techniques used were observation sheets and test instruments. Based on the results of the research and data analysis, it can be concluded that the students' speaking skills improved throughout the study. From cycle I, meeting I to cycle II, meeting II, it was found that the students' speaking skills showed progress. In cycle I, meeting I, the average test score was 61.81, which falls under the "poor" category. In cycle I, meeting II, the average test score was 68.06, still in the "poor" category. In cycle II, meeting I, the average test score was 76.39, classified as "sufficient." Finally, in cycle II, meeting II, the average test score was 87.50, categorized as "very good." Thus, the hypothesis stating that applying the Think Pair Share learning model can improve students' speaking skills in Indonesian language lessons for Grade III at Al-Washliyah Barus Elementary School can be accepted.
