The type of research is Quasi Experimental Design. Data collection techniques using observation and tests. This research design is Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The data analysis technique was carried out by testing the experimental requirements. The results obtained show that the data is normally distributed and homogeneous. The results showed a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.026 <0.05. This means that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted so that there is a significant difference in influence between the experimental class and the control class on the ability to write short stories in grade IV elementary school students. The difference in the average value of the posttest of the experimental class with the value obtained is 80.74 and the average value of the posttest of the control class with the value obtained is 83.19, then it shows that the ability to write short stories in students using the picture and picture learning method is better than the ability to write short stories in students using the discovery learning method.
