This can cause problems when teachers apply monotonous learning strategies and models and there is no conformity with their students' learning style, until ultimately the learning process is less interested in students' learning, so students have difficulty understanding the materials taught. The problems in this study are: How to apply MURDER learning strategy to improve students' understanding of PAI Material at SMAN Mojoagung Jombang and How the level of mastery of student understanding in PAI material at SMAN Mojoagung Jombang by applying MURDER Learning Strategy. In the learning process researchers use PAI subjects as materials or research objects. The subject of this study was a grade XI student of MIPA 3 SMAN Mojoagung Jombang. The approach used in this study is qualitative approach, namely "research that is intended to uncover symptoms thoroughly and in accordance with the context / what it is through the collection of data from a natural background as a direct source with the key instrument of the study itself.
