The Influence of the Round Robin Brainstorming Learning Model on Narrative Writing Skills in Elementary School Students

Writing essays is an important skill that allows individuals to effectively convey ideas and feelings. However, many students struggle to express their thoughts in a structured manner. This research proposes the round robin brainstorming (RRB) learning model as an innovative solution to enhance narrative writing skills. This model not only encourages student creativity but also creates an enjoyable learning atmosphere. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of the RRB model on students' narrative writing abilities and to evaluate its effectiveness in increasing student motivation. The method used is a quantitative experiment, where students are divided into two groups: an experimental group that applies the RRB model and a control group that uses conventional methods. Data is collected through writing tests before and after the implementation of the model, as well as questionnaires to measure student motivation and engagement. The results indicate that the application of the RRB model leads to a significant improvement in writing skills, with an N-gain score of 0.4 (40%), which falls into the moderate category. Additionally, students reported increased motivation and creativity in the writing process. In conclusion, the Round Robin Brainstorming learning model has proven effective in enhancing students' narrative writing skills. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers integrate this model into writing instruction to improve student skills. Further research is also needed to explore the impact of this model in other learning contexts.
