<![CDATA[This thesis aims to determine the effect of implementing the Student Teams Achievement Division (STAD) learning model on student engagement and learning in the Akidah Akhlak course for eighth-grade students at State Madrasah Tsanawiyah 5 in Jambi City. The rationale behind this study is the monotonous nature of instruction, which has led to a lack of student engagement in the Akidah Akhlak course. This study employed a quantitative approach using a quasi-experimental method and a Nonequivalent Control Group Design. The sample consisted of two classes—an experimental class and a control class—each comprising 31 students. Data collection techniques included questionnaires, a pre-test, and a post-test. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, normality tests, homogeneity tests, an Independent Samples t-test, and N-Gain analysis. The results showed that the significance value of the Independent Samples t-test was 0.003 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of the STAD learning model on student learning outcomes. Furthermore, the average N-Gain for the experimental class was 0.7401 (74.01%), which was higher than that of the control class at 68.00%. Thus, the STAD learning model proved effective in increasing student engagement in learning. Keywords: STAD Learning Model, Student Engagement, Learning Outcomes, Faith and Morals]]>
