<![CDATA[The Merdeka Curriculum at SMPIT Insan Madani represents a strategic innovation in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) to address contemporary educational challenges. This curriculum emphasizes student autonomy, differentiated instruction, and the integration of technology, aiming to reinforce Islamic values while aligning religious teachings with Islamic philosophy. Utilizing a qualitative methodology, this study collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis involves filtering relevant information, aligning it with theoretical frameworks, and evaluating educators' roles in PAI instruction. The implementation of PAI learning innovation follows a differentiated approach consisting of three key components: content, process, and product. Content differentiation involves assigning varied learning materials and tasks tailored to students’ comprehension levels. For example, students grouped based on their understanding receive different assignments to better suit their needs. Process differentiation allows teachers to assess students’ proficiency and adapt instructional methods accordingly. In the context of prayer lessons, students who face difficulties in reading are given corrective guidance, while those more advanced engage directly in practice activities. Product differentiation empowers students to demonstrate their understanding through creative outputs such as summaries or PowerPoint presentations, submitted independently to the teacher. This innovative approach reflects a personalized and transformative learning experience, ensuring that each student receives education suited to their individual abilities. The method aligns with the core principles of the Merdeka Curriculum by fostering autonomy, spiritual growth, and academic excellence. Overall, the differentiated PAI learning model at SMPIT Insan Madani serves as a practical response to students' diverse learning needs, equipping them with balanced spiritual and intellectual competencies relevant to the digital era and the demands of 21st-century education.]]>
