This study aims to analyze the effect of the Wondering, Exploring, and Explaining (WEE) learning model on the learning outcomes of Islamic Religious Education students of class VIII of SMP Negeri 18 Krui. The background of this study is the low activity, motivation, and learning outcomes of students due to the implementation of conventional learning that has not been able to develop critical thinking skills. The study used a quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experimental design of the Post-test Only Control Group Design type. The research sample consisted of class VIII A as the experimental group and class VIII B as the control group selected through probability sampling techniques. Data were collected using a learning outcome test that had met the validity and reliability tests. Data analysis was carried out through normality tests, homogeneity tests, and Independent Samples t-Test. The results of the analysis showed a calculated t value = 8.015 with a significance value (Sig. 2-tailed) of 0.000 (p <0.05), so there was a significant difference in learning outcomes between the experimental group and the control group. The experimental group obtained an average learning outcome of 12.40 points higher than the control group. These results prove that the WEE learning model has a positive influence on improving Islamic Religious Education learning outcomes and has the potential to be an effective learning alternative in schools.
