Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas teknik akrostik berbantuan media visual terhadap kemampuan menulis puisi siswa kelas VIII SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Laren. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode kuasi eksperimen dan desain one-group pretest-posttest. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 23 siswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik sampling jenuh. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui tes dan observasi, dengan instrumen tes berupa penilaian keterampilan menulis puisi yang diberikan dalam bentuk pretest dan posttest. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan inferensial melalui uji normalitas dan uji paired sample t-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa data berdistribusi normal dengan nilai signifikansi pretest sebesar 0,449 dan posttest sebesar 0,435. Selanjutnya, hasil uji paired sample t-test menunjukkan nilai signifikansi sebesar 0,000 < 0,05, yang berarti terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara hasil pretest dan posttest. Rata-rata nilai siswa juga mengalami peningkatan dari 59,43 pada pretest menjadi 77,73 pada posttest. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknik akrostik berbantuan media visual efektif dalam meningkatkan kemampuan menulis puisi siswa kelas VIII SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Laren

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the acrostic technique, assisted by visual media, on the poetry-writing ability of eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Laren. This research employs a quantitative approach, a quasi-experimental design, and a one-group pretest-posttest design. The research subjects were 23 students selected using saturated sampling. Data collection techniques were carried out through tests and observations, with the test instrument consisting of an assessment of poetry-writing skills administered as a pretest and a posttest. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including normality tests and paired-samples t-tests. The research results showed that the data were normally distributed, with pretest and posttest significance values of 0.449 and 0.435, respectively. Furthermore, the results of the paired samples t-test showed a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating a significant difference between the pretest and posttest results. The average student score also increased from 59.43 in the pretest to 77.73 in the posttest. Based on these results, the acrostic technique, aided by visual media, is effective in improving the poetry writing skills of eighth-grade students at SMP Muhammadiyah 8 Laren.
