Abstract

This study aims to analyze student perceptions of the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) method in learning Religious Education. This study used a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, involving 80 students at Muhammadiyah Mataram University. Data were collected through a Likert scale questionnaire consisting of 50 statements, then analyzed using descriptive statistics to describe students' perceptions of the implementation of PBL. The results showed that the majority of students responded positively to this method, stating that PBL improved their understanding of religious concepts, connected religious values with daily life, and encouraged active involvement in learning. In addition, PBL is also proven to improve critical thinking skills, cooperation in group discussions, and provide a more meaningful learning experience. However, some challenges are still faced, such as limited relevant references, lack of supporting facilities, and the need for additional guidance from lecturers so that this method can be applied optimally. In addition, students emphasized the importance of real case studies in PBL to increase the relevance of learning. Therefore, support from educational institutions is needed in providing learning resources, improving learning facilities, and more structured teaching strategies. Future research is suggested to explore more flexible and effective PBL implementation strategies, as well as comparing the effectiveness of PBL with other learning methods in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the contribution of PBL in learning Religious Education.

Abstract

This study examines presentations as an active learning strategy that can increase student engagement and confidence in speaking English. Although many studies have examined online learning, few have compared students' perceptions of Zoom presentations and in-person presentations in relation to increased confidence. This study aims to reveal students' perceptions of both forms of presentations, compare their advantages and disadvantages, and identify factors that influence confidence when speaking. The method used is descriptive qualitative with a population of students in the English Education Study Program (56 students) and a purposive sample who have presentation experience. Data were collected through a Likert questionnaire and in-depth interviews with 10 selected participants. Questionnaire analysis used descriptive statistics, while interview data were analyzed qualitatively through data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that presentations via Zoom can increase confidence for some participants because they reduce anxiety and are supported by technological features, despite being limited by technical problems and nonverbal interaction. Meanwhile, in-person presentations are more effective in training speaking skills, courage, and direct interaction with lecturers and classmates. The main factors that influence confidence are mastery of the material, support from the learning environment, and previous presentation experience. In conclusion, both forms of presentation complement each other, and integrating them into English language learning can provide a more holistic approach to improving participants' speaking confidence, communication skills, and adaptation in various communication situations.
