This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Index Card Match learning model in improving student motivation and learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education subjects. The focus of this study is the Asmaul Husna material taught to fourth grade students at SD Negeri 105441 Kuta Pinang during the odd semester of the 2023/2024 academic year. The method used is classroom action research (CAR) which takes place in several cycles, with descriptive quantitative and qualitative data analysis. Qualitative data were obtained through observations of the learning process and student activities, while quantitative data were obtained from student test results. The results of the study showed an increase in student motivation and learning achievement after the implementation of the Index Card Match model. In the early stages before the action, many students showed a lack of interest in learning, as seen from their reluctance to ask questions and participate in class. After the implementation of this learning model, there was a significant increase in student engagement, both individually and in groups. Therefore, active learning through this model has been proven to increase student interest and learning outcomes. Thus, schools are expected to continue to support more creative and interactive learning innovations, especially in Islamic Religious Education subjects, so that students are more motivated and enjoy the learning process.
