Students’ learning outcomes in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at MTSN 2 Payakumbuh remained unsatisfactory due to teacher-centered instructional practices that limited student participation and interaction. This study aimed to examine the effect of the Active Knowledge Exchange learning model on students’ learning outcomes in ICT subjects. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design employing pre-test and post-test control groups was used. The study involved 56 students selected through simple random sampling and assigned to experimental and control groups. Data were collected using pre-test and post-test instruments and analyzed to compare students’ learning outcomes before and after the intervention. The findings indicated that students taught using the Active Knowledge Exchange learning model achieved better learning outcomes than those taught through conventional instructional methods. The model promoted greater student participation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing during the learning process, which contributed to improved academic achievement. These results suggest that the Active Knowledge Exchange learning model is effective in enhancing students’ learning outcomes in ICT subjects and can serve as an alternative instructional strategy to foster more active and student-centered learning.
