This study aims to experimentally analyze the differences in students’ learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) taught using the lecture method and the role-play method. The research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design involving two groups: an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group was taught using the role-play method, while the control group was taught using the lecture method. Data were collected through learning achievement tests administered before (pre-test) and after (post-test) the treatment. Data analysis was conducted using a t-test to determine differences in learning outcomes between the two groups. The results indicate a significant difference in learning outcomes between students taught using the role-play method and those taught using the lecture method. Students who participated in role-play-based learning demonstrated higher improvement in learning outcomes compared to those taught using the lecture method. Therefore, the role-play method is considered more effective in enhancing learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education.
