Abstract

This study was conducted because many students still face difficulties in learning, as the instructional methods used have not yet been implemented in ways that facilitate student understanding. Therefore, the Means-Ends Analysis (MEA) learning model was employed to guide students through a step-by-step thinking process, aiming to make it easier for them to achieve their learning goals and improve their academic performance. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of the Means-Ends Analysis (MEA) learning model on students' learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMA Negeri 10 Bandar Lampung. The research employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The sample was selected randomly, with class X.5 assigned as the experimental group and class X.1 as the control group, each consisting of 30 students. The instrument used was a multiple-choice test. The data analysis began with tests for normality and homogeneity, followed by hypothesis testing using the Independent Samples T-Test if the data were normally distributed and homogeneous, or the Mann-Whitney U Test if the data were not normally distributed, to determine the effectiveness of the MEA learning model on student learning outcomes. The normality test results indicated that the data were not normally distributed (sig. 0.000 < 0.05), so the Mann-Whitney U Test was used, yielding a value of 347.500. The homogeneity test showed that the data were homogeneous (sig. 0.309 > 0.05). The hypothesis test results revealed a significance value of 0.757 (> 0.05), indicating that there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Therefore, the MEA model has not been proven effective in improving learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education. Other contributing factors, such as student motivation and the teacher’s instructional approach, also need to be considered. The research findings suggest that the implementation of the Means-Ends Analysis (MEA) learning model did not significantly influence the improvement of students’ academic performance. This may be due to several factors, including students’ limited understanding of the steps involved in the MEA model, restricted instructional time, or suboptimal implementation by the teacher. It is suspected that the application was either not optimal or not well aligned with students’ characteristics. Therefore, it is recommended that teachers adopt instructional models that are better suited to students' needs and engage in evaluation and training efforts to enhance the quality of instruction.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Student learning motivation is one of the key determinants of successful learning, yet many vocational schools still face challenges in fostering active student engagement through teacher-centered instructional approaches. Previous studies have reported the effectiveness of various innovative learning models; however, empirical evidence regarding the implementation of the Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) model in vocational high schools, particularly in improving students' learning motivation, remains limited. Therefore, this study is important to provide empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the POE model in vocational education settings. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) learning model in improving students' learning motivation at SMK IT ICERA Babatan Katibung, South Lampung. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental design with a pretest-posttest control group. The research sample consisted of 60 students selected through cluster random sampling, comprising 30 students in the experimental class and 30 students in the control class. Data were collected using a learning motivation questionnaire that had met validity and reliability requirements and were analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent samples t-test. The findings revealed a significant difference in students' learning motivation between the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). Students who learned through the POE model demonstrated higher learning motivation than those who received conventional instruction. These findings indicate that the POE learning model is effective in enhancing students' learning motivation by encouraging active participation, critical thinking, and direct involvement throughout the learning process. Therefore, the POE model can be recommended as an innovative instructional strategy to improve learning motivation in vocational high schools. ABSTRAK Motivasi belajar merupakan salah satu faktor penting yang menentukan keberhasilan proses pembelajaran, namun pada kenyataannya masih banyak siswa yang menunjukkan motivasi belajar rendah akibat dominannya penggunaan pembelajaran konvensional yang berpusat pada guru. Berbagai penelitian telah membuktikan bahwa model pembelajaran aktif mampu meningkatkan keterlibatan siswa, tetapi kajian mengenai efektivitas model Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar pada konteks sekolah kejuruan, khususnya di SMK IT ICERA Babatan Katibung, masih relatif terbatas. Kondisi tersebut menunjukkan pentingnya penelitian untuk memberikan bukti empiris mengenai penerapan model POE sebagai alternatif pembelajaran yang mampu meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas model pembelajaran Predict, Observe, Explain (POE) dalam meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa di SMK IT ICERA Babatan Katibung, Lampung Selatan. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode eksperimen dan desain one-group pretest-posttest. Sampel penelitian terdiri atas siswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik sampling sesuai karakteristik penelitian. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket motivasi belajar yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif dan uji inferensial sesuai hasil uji prasyarat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model POE secara signifikan meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa yang ditunjukkan oleh adanya perbedaan skor motivasi sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa model POE mampu mendorong keterlibatan aktif siswa melalui kegiatan memprediksi, mengamati, dan menjelaskan fenomena sehingga proses pembelajaran menjadi lebih bermakna. Oleh karena itu, model POE dapat direkomendasikan sebagai alternatif pembelajaran yang efektif untuk meningkatkan motivasi belajar siswa pada jenjang sekolah menengah kejuruan.
