Abstract

: This study aims to develop an interactive Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning media oriented toward deep learning in the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum to create meaningful, active, and student-centered learning. The study employed a Research and Development (R&D) method using the ADDIE development model, consisting of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The developed product was an interactive learning media integrating visual, audio, and reflective learning activities to enhance students’ engagement in learning. The research subjects consisted of students and Islamic Religious Education teachers at the junior high school level. Data were collected through observation, interviews, expert validation questionnaires, and media implementation trials. The findings revealed that the developed learning media achieved a highly valid category based on evaluations from material and media experts. In addition, the media was considered practical and effective in improving active participation, learning motivation, and students’ understanding of Islamic Religious Education materials. The deep learning approach embedded in the learning media encouraged students to think reflectively and critically while connecting learning materials with real-life experiences. Therefore, the strategy for developing interactive PAI learning media oriented toward deep learning can serve as an innovative learning solution to support the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum.
