Abstract

Purpose of the study: This action research examined whether integrating Khan Academy video lessons into Grade 7 mathematics classes would improve learners’ achievement and engagement levels, and documented students’ perceptions of the videos after a two-week classroom intervention. Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was employed. Research instruments included a researcher-made 30-item Mathematics achievement test validated by three in-service teachers (reliability = 0.7742), a Mathematics Engagement Level Questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale (Cronbach’s α = 0.857), and purposively selected Khan Academy video lessons. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, Spearman’s rho, and thematic analysis. Main Findings: Post-intervention achievement increased significantly, rising from a mean of 10.42 to 17.62, although most learners remained at the “Beginning” level. Engagement levels also improved after the intervention. The relationship between post-intervention achievement and engagement was weak and not statistically significant. Learners reported clearer understanding, increased enjoyment, and greater motivation, alongside some issues related to audio clarity and retention. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to educational research by demonstrating how short, teacher-guided integration of video-based instruction can simultaneously influence mathematics achievement and multidimensional learner engagement in secondary classrooms. By combining validated pre–post quantitative measures with learners’ thematic feedback, the study extends existing evidence on video-based learning by identifying both instructional benefits and implementation constraints (e.g., audio clarity, retention), thereby informing more effective and context-sensitive blending of video resources in mathematics instruction.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to analyze how Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning has undergone a transformation in the digital era through the use of digital animated videos and its implications for student understanding at MI Az-Zainiyah II. The background of this research begins with digitalization, which encourages IRE teachers to utilize technology to improve the quality of learning processes and outcomes, in line with the Independent Curriculum. Methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study approach. Data were collected in the odd semester of 2025/2026 through participant observation, interviews with three key informants (the principal, curriculum department, and fiqh teacher) and students, documentation of teaching materials, and a literature review. Data validity was strengthened through triangulation of sources and techniques, as well as member checking with informants. Analysis was conducted through data reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. Main Findings: The research results show that this transformation is perceived positively because digital media innovations create engaging learning environments, reduce boredom, enrich interactions, and encourage imagination and practice. However, negative impacts were also identified, including the risk of assessment inaccuracy when devices are used in semester exams and a tendency for students to be reluctant to write. Therefore, madrasas are implementing digital adoption selectively and gradually. Novelty/Originality of this study: The novelty of this research lies in its analysis of the transformation of Islamic Religious Education (IRE) learning through digital animated videos based on constructivism and dual coding theory, which emphasizes active student involvement in constructing understanding. This research focuses not only on media effectiveness but also on institutional readiness, infrastructure limitations, and teacher competency in the context of elementary madrasahs.
