Abstract

This research aims to uncover the changing meanings of the concept of idols and to symbolically approach the meanings behind verses using terms such as الأصنام, الأوثان, and لأنصاب in the Quran. The background of this writing stems from the human tendency to believe in God but falter in expressing servitude to Allah SWT. Humans constantly seek the essence of God, yet errors persist from the prophetic era to the present day. There is a tendency to adhere blindly to the teachings of ancestors who inherited these mistakes. To understand this issue further, this research will utilize Roland Barthes' semiotics. The methodology involves literature review supported by descriptive analysis.  The results of semiotic research on verses and interpretations regarding the meaning of idols in the Quran, reviewed using the concepts of Jahiliyyah and Islam, will reveal a change in meaning due to the transition of certain practices from the pre-Islamic era into Islam. The concept of idols in these three terms refers to something worshiped as a manifestation, resemblance, and offering as a method of worship.

Abstract

This study investigates the learning outcomes of Class IX-1 students at SMP Al-Ihsan Cimencrang Bandung through the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model in vocabulary acquisition. The research emphasizes the importance of teaching approaches, especially in the digital era, where critical thinking is essential. Utilizing pre-tests and post-tests for evaluation, the study assesses students' knowledge before and after implementing the PjBL model, with a completion score threshold set at ≥75. This experimental classroom action research involved two cycles, each consisting of two meetings, allowing for the analysis of the PjBL model's effectiveness. Findings indicate a significant improvement in student performance, with the percentage of students scoring ≥75 increasing from 10 to 12 in Cycle I and from 14 to 18 in Cycle II. Moreover, overall completion rates rose from 43.5% in the Cycle I pre-test to 78% in the Cycle II post-test. These results highlight that the PjBL model not only enhances learning outcomes but also fosters greater student engagement and understanding of the material. The study concludes that implementing PjBL effectively improves students' learning achievements, demonstrating its value in contemporary education. The implications of this research suggest that educators should adopt the PjBL model to promote critical thinking and collaborative skills, thereby better preparing students for future challenges in a rapidly evolving world.
