Abstract

Humans cannot stand alone, but are closely related to their environment (ẖabl ma'a biatih), humans cannot be separated from other humans (ẖabl minan nâs), humans also depend on Allah (ẖabl mina Allâh) who is the Almighty, creator and determiner of their lives. The view of the Al-Qur'an which is the basis of the author's argument, is that basically from the womb humans have had several potentials, and the educational environment in the Al-Qur'an is comprehensive and integrated, covers all fields of knowledge, and is oriented towards the world of the afterlife. The educational environment consists of family, madrasah, and community. Families must create an educational atmosphere for their family members, starting from the formation of the ark (future father and mother) to the birth process and formation from childhood to adulthood, so that Islamic Tarbiyah can be implemented and produce educational goals as expected. Schools, historically the existence of schools is a further development of the existence of mosques. This is because the educational process that took place in the mosque in the initial period included educators, students, materials and learning methods that were applied in accordance with the materials and conditions of the students.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of using PowerPoint media on Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning outcomes for class IX B students at SMPN 2 Telukjambe Timur on the subject of Faith in the Last Day. The research population was students in Class IXB with a total of 30 students. The data collection technique uses a survey with a Likert scale-based questionnaire, which is designed based on conceptual, operational definitions, aspects, indicators, and questions related to PowerPoint media variables and learning outcomes. Data analysis was carried out descriptively and inferentially. The results of the research show that there is a positive relationship between the use of PowerPoint media and PAI learning outcomes for class IXB students at SMPN. This research is supported by a correlation test which shows a positive correlation between PowerPoint media variables and learning outcomes. Apart from that, the validity test using a construct test on the measuring instrument (questionnaire) shows that the data obtained after the research is valid. This research highlights the importance of using PowerPoint media in improving student PAI learning outcomes. The implication of this research is that the use of this media can be an effective strategy in the PAI learning process at junior high school level, by paying attention to aspects of the validity of the instruments used to measure its influence. From the calculation results, it is known that 9% of students' PowerPoint media is in the low category, 78% is in the medium category and 14% is in the high category, so it can be concluded that on average students' PowerPoint media is in the medium category. Then, the learning outcomes are 9% in the low category, 78% in the medium category and 14% in the high category, so it can be concluded that the average learning outcomes are in the medium category. Kolmogorov Smirnov normality test results using SPSS, sig value. 0.200 is greater than 0.05, so it can be concluded that the research data is normally distributed. Based on the output significance value (Sig.) of 0.000 < 0.05, it can be concluded that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that "There is an influence of PowerPoint media (X) on learning outcomes (Y)". then the result of the R Square value is 0.983. This value means that the influence of PowerPoint Media (X) on Learning Outcomes (Y) is 98.3%, while 1.7% of Learning Outcomes (Y) are influenced by other variables that were not studied. Referring to the results above, it can be seen we conclude that "PowerPoint Media (X) has a positive effect on Learning Outcomes (Y) with a total effect of 98.3%." This positive influence means that the more PowerPoint media increases, the more it will influence the increase in student learning outcomes.

Abstract

This research focuses on the understanding and application of the concept of wasatiah in the Qur'an, using Gadamer's hermeneutic method in Tafsir Al-Misbah. This research was conducted in literature, where the researcher analysed the tafsir work using Hans Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic analysis tool. The main findings of this analysis show that Tafsir Al-Misbah is not just an explanation of the text, but also a response to the social context and conflicts that occurred at that time. Through Gadamer's approach, researchers found that Shihab integrated the concept of wasatiah with various contextual dimensions, both from the Qur'anic text and from the surrounding social reality. The results of the analysis show that the concept of wasaṭiyyah expressed by Shihab reflects a fair, balanced and tolerant attitude in everyday life. This concept applies in various aspects of life, both in world affairs and the affairs of the hereafter. The importance of this research lies in the effort to understand and apply the concept of wasatiah in the context of an increasingly complex and turbulent life, especially in the face of the phenomenon of moral and mental decline in Islamic society.
