Abstract

Persistently low learning interest among Indonesian primary-school pupils in Islamic Religious Education (Pendidikan Agama Islam, PAI) constrains the depth of moral and cognitive engagement that the subject is intended to develop. Although Wordwall, a browser-based gamified-learning platform, has been examined in thematic, science, and mathematics instruction, its behavioral effect within the PAI context of Integrated Islamic Primary Schools (SDIT) remains underexplored. This study examined whether structured Wordwall use raises learning-interest indicators across two action-research cycles. Following the Kemmis and McTaggart spiral model, planning, action, observation, and reflection phases were enacted with 19 fourth-grade pupils (5 male, 14 female) at SDIT Mutiara Hati, Tebo Regency, during the even semester of 2024/2025. Wordwall activities (matching pairs, true-or-false, gameshow quiz) were embedded into PAI lessons on Praiseworthy Conduct (Akhlak Terpuji). Three behavioral indicators attention, active participation, and feelings of enjoyment were rated by two co-observers using a four-point rubric (±1 scale point inter-rater tolerance), supported by semi-structured interviews and photographic documentation. Quantitative scores were summarised as percentages; qualitative records were analysed through reduction, display, and verification. Mean learning interest rose from 38.0% (poor) at baseline to 56.5% (sufficient) after Cycle I and 81.0% (very good) after Cycle II, an absolute gain of 43.0 percentage points. All three indicators improved monotonically, with attention exhibiting the largest single-cycle gain (26.5 points, Cycle I). Wordwall-based gamified instruction is therefore an effective behavioural intervention for primary-school PAI in resource-constrained settings, and merits replication on larger samples and across different content domains

Abstract

Conventional Qur’an memorization (tahfidz) in Indonesian elementary schools often relies on uniform repetition that disregards the concrete-operational cognition of children aged 7–12, yielding fatigue, motivational decline, and uneven progress. The Wafa method, structured around a five-stage protocol (Opening, Experiencing, Teaching, Assessing, Closing abbreviated 5P) and grounded in right-brain multisensory learning, has been promoted as a pedagogical response, yet most existing studies report aggregate effectiveness without examining how classroom teachers operationalize and adapt it when contextual constraints emerge. This study therefore investigates the planning, enactment, encountered constraints, and adaptive strategies of the Wafa 5P method at SD Lab School Integrated SKB, Bungo Regency, Indonesia. A qualitative case-study design was employed; data were generated over a ten-week period (March–May 2024) through participant observation of 24 lessons, semi-structured interviews with eight purposively sampled informants (principal, four tahfidz teachers, three homeroom teachers), and document analysis. Analysis followed the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model, with credibility secured through source and method triangulation and prolonged engagement. Findings show that the 5P protocol was implemented in full sequence but encountered three recurrent constraints: difficulty internalizing the Hijaz tonal pattern, irregular attendance linked to home distance, and heterogeneous memorization pace within a 35-minute slot shared with Dhuha prayer. Teachers responded with three contextual adaptations: routine playback of child-oriented murottal audio, autonomy-supportive responses to tardiness coupled with catch-up tasks, and a 14:30–17:00 supplementary tahfidz class. Findings reframe Wafa as a teacher-mediated, context-responsive system, contributing evidence for differentiated Qur’an instruction in primary education.
