<![CDATA[Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Character Building (Budi Pekerti) learning is often teacher-centered, resulting in students being less active, lacking in confidence, and not optimally engaged. This study aims to describe how the jigsaw method is implemented to address student passivity in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Character Building (Budi Pekerti) learning at SMPN 235 Jakarta. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Primary data sources were obtained from Islamic Religious Education (PAI) teachers and students at SMPN 235 Jakarta, while secondary data sources came from books, journals, school documents, and other supporting documentation. Data collection techniques and procedures were carried out through observation, interviews, and document studies. Data analysis used the Miles and Huberman model. The results of the study indicate that (1) Implementing the jigsaw method in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) and Character Building (Budi Pekerti) learning can reduce student passivity and improve the quality of learning.
