Abstract

This study aimed to find an effective solution in improving learners' understanding of Islamic Religious Education through the application of the Jigsaw cooperative learning model. This case study was relevant because it can provide valuable insights into how to overcome students' learning difficulties and improve the quality of Islamic learning in high school education. The subject of this reseacrh was ten students who was taught by using the jigsaw learning strategy. The teachers conducted a curriculum analysis to determine the competency standards and basic competencies that would be delivered to students using this model. Students' learning outcomes in the subject of Islamic Education were classified as Good, with an overall average percentage of 71 falling within the 66-79 interval. The improvement in student learning outcomes from Cycle I to Cycle II suggested that the implemented improvements in teaching could address the challenges faced. The Jigsaw approach can enhance collaboration among students, allowing them to share knowledge and understanding of various aspects of Islamic Education. By dividing the lesson material into small parts, each student takes responsibility to understand and teach a specific part. The implication of this research underscores the importance of implementing appropriate learning approaches tailored to students' characteristics, such as Jigsaw, to enhance their understanding of PAI subjects, particularly for students facing learning difficulties.

Abstract

Religious education is one of the important issues that needs to be discussed because it is related to the way religious education is delivered in schools that often do not promote good multicultural education, and even tend to create divisions. The application of various learning methodologies and management is required as part of the endeavor to enhance Islamic learning outcomes. Jigsaw learning and its modified forms have been utilized in educational contexts more frequently than other cooperative learning methodologies because of its potential. This type of research is literature review research or literature study. Through library research, this study used a descriptive qualitative methodology and the literature study method. The Jigsaw method or type is a cooperative learning method by which students learn in small groups of four to six people heterogeneously. Students work together in positive interdependence and are independently responsible. In this learning, students also have many opportunities to express their opinions and can improve communication skills. The initial jigsaw method's adoption was successful in raising students' involvement in Islamic religious education learning in a number of ways, as seen by the findings. Students felt more engaged and proactive in the learning process when given structured group assignments. These results should help teachers make the best decision when it comes to teaching character education, particularly when it comes to developing mutual respect.

Abstract

Education is a political sphere that stands and operates based on political decisions; no exception whether it is a government or private educational institution. Jami'atul Washliyah is one of the organizations that nuances religioous and cannot be separated from the political dimension in the context of education. This paper is based on historical studies through library research. The Islamic organization known as Jami'atul al-Washilyah where its preaching especially in North Sumatra played a very important role mainly through education. One strategy used to spread Islam (Islamic da'wah) uses the term "zending" which is generally used by invaders in spreading their religion, Christianity. So in the context of Islamic da'wah using the term "Zending Islam" was first used by al-Washliyah as its da'wah strategy in the midst of a predominantly non-Muslim population such as in Porsea.

Abstract

The quality of Islamic education in madrasahs still faces challenges such as low teacher discipline, suboptimal infrastructure, and minimal community involvement. This study aims to analyze the strategies of madrasah principals in developing the quality of Islamic education through strategic planning, teacher competency development, and parent and community involvement. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that quality planning is carried out through annual meetings with the foundation, teachers, and staff, and then implemented through the ERKAM application. To improve teacher competencies, the madrasah principal conducts supervision, motivation, and training guidance, although some teachers are still found to be undisciplined. Facility development is carried out through planning, utilization, and maintenance, but some facilities are still incomplete. Community relations are quite good, as indicated by participation in madrasah activities. Parent involvement also supports the achievement of educational quality. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of participatory and quality-oriented leadership in promoting the overall progress of madrasahs.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) dalam membangun kesadaran gaya hidup halal di kalangan remaja Gen Z, dengan fokus pada siswa kelas VIII SMP Budi Agung Medan Marelan. Pendekatan penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemahaman siswa terhadap konsep halal masih terbatas pada aspek makanan dan minuman, sedangkan penerapan gaya hidup halal dalam aspek sosial, berpakaian, dan penggunaan media digital belum optimal. Mata pelajaran PAI berperan penting dalam memberikan pemahaman dasar tentang halal, namun waktu pembelajaran yang terbatas dan materi yang belum terintegrasi secara menyeluruh menjadi hambatan dalam pembentukan kesadaran yang utuh. Media sosial terbukti menjadi sumber informasi yang signifikan, namun kurangnya literasi digital Islami di kalangan siswa menyebabkan pemahaman mereka masih dangkal dan cenderung terpengaruh oleh budaya populer. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa peran PAI sangat strategis dalam membentuk kesadaran halal siswa, namun diperlukan inovasi metode pembelajaran serta dukungan lingkungan sekolah dan keluarga untuk menjadikan gaya hidup halal sebagai bagian dari keseharian remaja Gen Z.

Abstract

The challenges of modernity have eroded spiritual values in Islamic education, so a classroom management strategy is needed that balances academic achievement and religious character building. This research examines religious classroom management innovations in improving the quality of student learning at Madrasah Aliyah Swasta Tarbiyah Islamiyah. The focus is on the school's innovative strategies in creating a religious learning atmosphere, conducive, and supportive of students' character and academic development. The research method uses a phenomenological qualitative approach with observation, interview, and documentation techniques. The results show that spiritual-based classroom management through the integration of Islamic values, worship habits, and strengthening the spiritual relationship between teachers and students can create a positive and meaningful learning environment. This strategy has an impact on improving discipline, learning motivation, and academic achievement. The findings corroborate Vygotsky's social constructivism theory that emphasizes the importance of social and cultural interactions in learning, as well as Islamic education theory that places spirituality at the core of forming a whole person.

Abstract

Memorizing the Qur'an often faces challenges related to the diversity of students' learning styles. Each individual has a different way of learning, which is caused by differences in intelligence types. Therefore, an approach that accommodates this diversity of intelligence is important in learning, one of which is the Multiple Intelligences approach developed by Howard Gardner. This approach emphasizes that every individual possesses various types of intelligence that can be optimized, such as linguistic intelligence, musical intelligence, interpersonal intelligence, and intrapersonal intelligence. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Multiple Intelligences approach in Qur'an memorization learning, focusing on the potential application, strategies, and challenges faced in its implementation. The method used is a qualitative case study approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the application of learning strategies tailored to students' dominant intelligences has a positive impact on improving Quran memorization. The implications of this study suggest that the Multiple Intelligences approach can enhance Quran memorization outcomes and students' learning motivation, consistent with Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences.
