Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of a reality-based approach integrated with Smart TV in improving students’ understanding of daily prayers among students with intellectual disabilities. The research employed Classroom Action Research (CAR) based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, conducted in two cycles consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were five students with mild and moderate intellectual disabilities at SLB Putra Mandiri Lamongan. Data were collected through tests, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative and qualitative approaches, with a success indicator of at least 75% of students achieving the Minimum Mastery Criteria (MMC) of 75. the results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding, indicated by an increase in the average score from 68.00 in the pre-cycle to 77.00 in Cycle I and 84.00 in Cycle II. The learning mastery percentage also improved from 20% to 60% and reached 80% in Cycle II. These findings highlight that the integration of a reality-based approach with Smart TV creates a more contextual and interactive learning environment suited to students with intellectual disabilities. The novelty of this study lies in the pedagogical integration of Smart TV within the reality approach in Islamic Religious Education learning.

Abstract

Teacher creativity is a crucial element in creating meaningful, enjoyable, and effective learning processes that contribute to improved student academic performance. Creative teachers are able to design varied and innovative learning strategies that align with students' individual characteristics. This study aims to describe the role of teacher creativity in enhancing the academic achievement of Grade VII students at MTs Darul Ulum Medali, Sugio District, Lamongan Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, using data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The research informants consisted of subject teachers and Grade VII students. The findings reveal that teacher creativity is reflected in six main aspects: the use of engaging instructional media, implementation of varied teaching methods, communicative and enjoyable classroom management, contextual and challenging assignments, innovative assessment strategies, and positive student responses to learning activities. These six elements demonstrate that teacher creativity significantly enhances student motivation, active participation, and academic performance. Therefore, teacher creativity should not be seen as a complement but as a foundational factor in establishing effective and meaningful education, particularly in junior secondary school settings.
