<![CDATA[Teacher-centered instruction in many Akidah Akhlak classes has resulted in low student participation and learning outcomes below KKM 76, underscoring the need for more active approaches. This study evaluates the effect of the pair checks model on Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes at MTsN 6 Agam. Using a quantitative experimental design, the sample comprised class VIII.5 (n = 32) as the experimental group implementing pair checks and class VIII.4 (n = 32) as the control group employing a conventional model; assumption tests included normality and homogeneity using the Lilliefors procedure, followed by hypothesis testing via N-Gain computation and an independent t-test. The main findings show a significant effect of pair checks on learning outcomes, with a meaningful difference between the experimental and control classes (p-value [sig] = 0.000 < 0.05) and superior achievement in the class using pair checks. It is concluded that implementing pair checks effectively improves Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes and promotes more active learning; the findings contribute by reinforcing student-centered instructional practice in Akidah Akhlak and guiding teachers toward the adoption of cooperative learning strategies.]]>
