Abstract

Students' interest in learning Islamic Religious Education (PAI) tends to be low because the learning method is still predominantly lecture-based and lacks interactivity. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of gamification as an interactive learning innovation to increase the learning interest of PAI students. A descriptive quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was used on 72 junior high school students who were divided into an experimental group (using gamification through Kahoot and Quizizz) and a control group (using conventional methods). The research instrument was in the form of a learning interest questionnaire on a Likert scale and a student involvement observation sheet. The results showed a significant increase in the experimental group, with the average learning interest score increasing by 20.3 points, while the control group only increased by 6.6 points. The results of the paired t-test also showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the experimental group. Observations support these findings, where the participation rate of students in the experimental class reached 85%, while in the control group it was only 45%. The findings confirm that gamification is able to create a more interactive, competitive, and fun learning atmosphere, while still internalizing Islamic values. This study recommends the application of gamification as an innovative strategy in PAI learning, although it needs to be adjusted to school infrastructure and student conditions.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has transformed educational practices globally, presenting both challenges and opportunities for Islamic education. This study examines the dynamics of reforming Islamic education curricula to align with the demands of the digital age while preserving core Islamic values. The research aims to explore effective strategies for integrating digital tools and methodologies into Islamic education, ensuring relevance and accessibility for contemporary learners. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing document analysis, expert interviews, and focus group discussions with educators, curriculum developers, and digital experts. The findings reveal that while digitalization enhances access to educational resources and fosters innovative teaching methods, it also introduces challenges such as the potential dilution of traditional values and a digital divide among learners. Key outcomes include a framework for a modern Islamic education curriculum that balances technological integration with spiritual and ethical teachings. The study concludes that reforming Islamic education in the digital age necessitates a holistic approach, embracing technology while safeguarding the integrity of Islamic principles. This research contributes to the discourse on modernizing religious education to prepare learners for a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
