<![CDATA[This study discusses the effect of the constructivist approach on students’ learning independence in Islamic Religious Education (PAI). The background of this research is the learning process that is still teacher-centered, causing students to be less active and independent in learning. This study aims to determine the influence of the constructivist approach on students’ learning independence and to describe its implementation in PAI learning. The research used a qualitative descriptive approach through library research methods by examining various relevant sources such as books, scientific journals, and articles. Data were collected through documentation techniques and analyzed using content analysis. The results of the study indicate that the constructivist approach has a positive influence on students’ learning independence because students are encouraged to actively build their own understanding through discussion, problem solving, active questioning, and contextual learning. This approach also improves students’ activeness, responsibility, motivation, self-confidence, and critical thinking skills in learning PAI. In addition, the role of the teacher as a facilitator supports the creation of meaningful and student-centered learning. Therefore, the constructivist approach can be an effective alternative in improving students’ learning independence in Islamic Religious Education learning.]]>
