Abstract

Writing is a necessary skill, especially for elementary school students, as it cannot be naturally gained. However, students in the Indonesian language classroom in elementary schools, struggle to learn how to write. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a thematic module based on problem-based learning with the theme "Kayanya Negeriku" and investigate the feasibility of the teaching materials for this module to help elementary school students with their writing. Fourth-grade students from two elementary schools in rural areas in Lampung were the participants in this study, which used a research and development design based on the Borg and Gall's model. Data were collected using observation and a questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed descriptively. The findings indicate that the fourth-grade students found the problem�based learning module to be "extremely intriguing". The experimental class's pretest average for writing was 68.43, while the posttest average was 86.50. In the control class, the average pre-test score was 61.83, and the average post-test score was 78.16. Therefore, the average post-test score was higher in the experimental class than it was in the control class. The implications and suggestions for further investigation are also highlighted.
