PENERAPAN MODEL PEMBELAJARAN ROLE PLAYING DALAM PEMBELAJARAN TEKS DRAMA PADA SISWA KELAS XI SMA NEGERI 1 SUKAGUMIWANG TAHUN AJARAN 2025/2026

Abstract

This study is motivated by the low level of students’ awareness in participating in Indonesian language learning, their limited understanding of the teacher’s explanations, difficulties in performing roles properly and earnestly, as well as the lack of variation in the use of innovative and engaging learning methods. The purpose of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the role-playing learning model in teaching drama texts to eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Sukagumiwang and to describe students’ learning activities when the role-playing model is implemented. The research employed an experimental method with class XI-9, consisting of 34 students, as the experimental group, and class XI-10, consisting of 36 students, as the control group. Data were collected through observations and tests (pretest and posttest). Based on statistical calculations using the independent sample t-test, the obtained t-value was 2.034, while the t-table value was 1.672. Since 2.034 > 1.672, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted. These findings indicate that the role-playing learning model is effective for teaching drama texts to eleventh-grade students of SMA Negeri 1 Sukagumiwang. Observational data further demonstrate that the implementation of the role-playing model increases students’ activeness in performing drama demonstrations in class.
