<![CDATA[Islamic Religious Education (PAI) requires an approach that not only emphasizes cognitive aspects but also develops character, social skills, and students’ critical thinking abilities. This study aims to explore the implementation of cooperative learning models using the Jigsaw method and Inquiry method in PAI learning at SMA Negeri 11 Tebo. The research focus includes: (1) how both methods are implemented in PAI learning, (2) whether learning activities can be improved through these methods, and (3) the obstacles and advantages found during implementation. This study employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Research subjects are PAI teachers and students in grades X, XI, and XII at SMA Negeri 11 Tebo. The findings show that the implementation of the Jigsaw model and Inquiry method effectively increases active student participation, encourages collaboration among students, and enhances deep understanding of PAI materials. Learning activities experienced significant improvement marked by increased student involvement in group discussions, ability to express opinions, and mutual respect attitudes. Obstacles faced include difficulties in group coordination, time limitations, and differences in student abilities, while advantages found include the creation of more interactive and collaborative learning that develops students’ critical thinking skills. This research contributes to the development of more active, meaningful PAI learning strategies aligned with 21st-century education demands.]]>
