This type of research is descriptive. (Classroom Action Research, Problem Solving Model with two cycles) Descriptive research describes or answers problems of phenomena or events that occur today, both about phenomena in single variables and correlations and/or comparisons in various variables. Based on the implementation and results of the study, students' learning activities in the Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning process using the problem solving model (Cycle I) showed that out of 30 students, in terms of the readiness of the Islamic Religious Education learning process, 7 students (23.3%) were classified as strong, 12 students (40%) were classified as moderate, and 11 students (36.6%) were classified as weak.
