/in /by

This research was motivated by the suboptimal use of innovative media for grade III students in elementary school. In addition to this, the learning strategies he uses have also not contributed to improving the quality of learning outcomes. Based on observations, results were obtained that the use of Javanese in students’ daily activities was very low. The language used by students is generally Indonesian, so students generally find it difficult to ask or answer questions given by the teacher using Javanese. In addition to this, in the school environment, Javanese is rarely used. In terms of using strategies, it is still monotonous and 80% still use conventional learning strategies. This is what underlies class action research, to improve the quality of Javanese language learning in elementary schools. This study generally aims to improve the quality of Javanese language learning by applying the innovative learning model “TANDUR” using Javanese script cards. The research method used is Participation Action Research (PAR) which adopts Kemmis & Mc. Taggart model which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of one meeting. The data collection techniques used are observation sheets for the implementation of learning, tests, and field notes. The results showed a significant improvement in the process of using the “TANDUR” model and an increase in student learning outcomes which reached 81.5% in cycle I, and 92% in cycle II. Meanwhile, regarding the use of Javanese script cards 95% stated that they were very happy and easier to understand the learning material. Overall, it can be concluded that the application of the “TANDUR” model using the media of script cards in Javanese language learning can improve the quality of learning in grade III elementary school.
