Abstract

Deductive logic plays an important role in developing a student's critical thinking skills, especially Islamic Religious Education students. A student can use the deduction process to draw valid conclusions based on premises that have been accepted as true. In Islamic religious education, this ability is very necessary in analyzing and understanding religious concepts that require in-depth understanding, such as interpretation of the Koran, Hadith, and so on. Through deductive logic, students can develop a critical nature towards the many interpretations of existing religious teachings, and are able to differentiate between various points of view based on rationalism and dogmaticism. A mature abstraction of thought accompanied by the use of a deductive approach will help students build coherent and structured arguments in addressing contemporary issues related to the Islamic religion. Therefore, mastering the logic of deduction not only improves students' critical thinking skills, but also enriches their perspective in understanding and applying Islamic teachings in everyday life.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the transformation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning from conventional methods to interactive methods for class VIII-F students at SMPN 35 Surabaya. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive approach involving 33 students as subjects, while data was collected through three main techniques: observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that conventional learning, which is still dominated by lectures, memorization, and cognitive evaluation alone, causes students to tend to be passive, bored, and fed up. In contrast, the implementation of conventional learning through LKPD-based Problem Based Learning (PBL), mind mapping-based Project Based Learning (PjBL), and Kahoot-based digital game evaluation can increase student engagement, motivation, and deeper understanding. Students become more active in discussions, collaboration, and problem-solving, while the teacher acts as a facilitator. This study concludes that the integration of interactive learning with the Independent Curriculum is relevant for building Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning that is more participatory, meaningful, and aligned with the demands of 21st-century skills.
