This research is motivated by the low learning outcomes of students in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in class VIII at SMPN 2 Tilatang Kamang, which is suspected to be caused by the lack of innovative learning models and unengaging media, resulting in students becoming passive and easily bored. The PAI teacher at the school had not yet used the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model. Additionally, several students had scores below the established target. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model assisted by visual media on the PAI learning outcomes of class VIII students at SMPN 2 Tilatang Kamang. The method used was quantitative research with a Pre- Experimental approach using a Static Group Comparison design. This study consisted of two variables: the independent variable, namely the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model assisted by visual media, and the dependent variable, namely learning outcomes. The population in this study consisted of 100 students, and the sample consisted of 50 students, determined through the Cluster Random Sampling technique, based on a homogeneity test of the population. Data collection was conducted using multiple-choice post-tests and teacher observation. Based on the results of data analysis and discussion, the results of this study show that the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model assisted by visual media has a significant effect on students' learning outcomes. This is supported by the results of the Independent Sample T-test, with a significance value (2-tailed) of 0.000, using the decision-making basis that if sig < 0.05, it indicates a difference in students comprehension scores between the experimental class using the specific treatment and the control class without treatment. This shows that the tested alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Thus, there is an effect of the Jigsaw Cooperative Learning model assisted by visual media on the PAI learning outcomes of students at SMPN 2 Tilatang Kamang.
