Abstract

This study aims to develop a creative writing learning model based on the Quantum Writing method at ITPB QANAAH SIDRAP. The research is motivated by the need to enhance students' writing skills, as writing is an essential part of mastering Indonesian language. The study focuses on improving the writing process through the application of the Quantum Writing method, which integrates both creative thinking and structured writing techniques. Data collection was conducted through observations, interviews, and questionnaires, followed by analysis using paired-sample t-tests. The result of this research is the development of a comprehensive learning model and teaching materials, including a guidebook for instructors, which can be used as a resource for teaching creative writing. The study found that 85.81% of respondents considered the developed guidebook to be highly suitable for supporting the writing learning process. Additionally, field testing revealed a significant improvement in student writing performance, as indicated by the higher delta scores between pre-tests and post-tests in the experimental group compared to the control group. The guidebook underwent validation in terms of content (82.05%), media (89.58%), and design (85.42%), and revisions were made based on the feedback from the validators. The findings of this study suggest that the Quantum Writing method can significantly enhance the creative writing skills of students, making learning more engaging and effective.
