Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Negeri 2 by reviewing aspects of objectives, principles, methods, and evaluation. The background of this research is the importance of PAI in forming students who not only understand religious material theoretically, but are also able to internalize and practice it in daily life. This research uses a qualitative approach with literature study methods and content analysis. Data were obtained from school documents, observation of learning activities, and relevant literature. The results of the study show that the implementation of PAI in MIN 2 runs according to the established procedures, by prioritizing scientific principles, monotheism, practice, and habituation of noble morals. The learning methods used are diverse, including group work, discussions, simulations, role-playing, and the use of contextual media. Learning evaluation is carried out comprehensively through written, oral, and practical tests, and emphasizes the achievement of students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor competencies. Overall, the results of the study show that the implementation of PAI learning at MIN 2 is effective in helping students understand and internalize the values of Islamic teachings. Thus, the learning model applied in MIN 2 can be a reference in the development of PAI learning at the elementary level.

Abstract

This article aims to reveal the concept of learning Islamic religious education in elementary schools. In its development, elementary school-age children have their own characteristics, where their thinking skills develop gradually. This needs to be understood wisely in order to deliver the success of educational goals. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the library research method. The results of the study show that Islamic religious education in elementary schools has its own uniqueness. If in the past children's thinking power was still imaginative and egocentric, then in this period their thinking power has developed towards concrete, rational, and objective thinking. The scope of Islamic religious education studies includes the Qur'an, faith, morals, fiqh/worship, and Islamic cultural history. Educational methods that can be applied refer to the Quranic method, such as the amtsal method, the qishah method, the ibrah mauidzah method, the hiwar jadali method, the uswah hasanah method, and the targhib tarhib method. In addition, Islamic religious education can be carried out verbally or nonverbal, written or non-written, which aims to measure the intellectual, social, and spiritual competence of students. Thus, Islamic religious education is expected to be able to produce human beings who always strive to perfect faith, piety, and morals, and actively build Islamic civilization.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of PowerPoint-based interactive media in increasing students' learning motivation at RA Al Wasliyah. The background of this research starts from the low motivation of children to learn which is characterized by a lack of attention, participation, and active involvement in the learning process that is still conventional. This research uses the design of Class Action Research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subject of the study was RA Al Wasliyah students who amounted to 20 children, consisting of 10 boys and 10 girls. Data were collected through observation, motivational questionnaires, and documentation, then analyzed with qualitative and quantitative descriptive approaches. The results of the study showed a significant increase in learning motivation after the implementation of PowerPoint-based interactive media. In the initial condition, only 45% of children showed high motivation to learn. After the implementation of the action in cycle I, motivation increased to 70%, and in cycle II it reached 90%. The use of PowerPoint equipped with animations, interesting images, and interactive elements has been proven to attract children's attention, foster curiosity, and encourage their active participation during learning activities. Thus, it can be concluded that PowerPoint-based interactive media is effectively used in learning at RA Al Wasliyah to increase early childhood learning motivation.

Abstract

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of grade V students of SDN 3 Jeupa, Southwest Aceh Regency on Asmaul Husna material through the use of audio-visual media. The background of the research departs from the low learning outcomes of students who are still below the Minimum Completeness Criteria, as well as the use of learning methods that tend to be monotonous. This study uses the Classroom Action Research (PTK) approach which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The subjects of the study were 21 students, consisting of 11 males and 10 females. Data was collected through observation of learning activities, learning outcome tests, and documentation, then analyzed in a qualitative descriptive manner. The results of the study show that the application of audio-visual media is able to increase students' motivation, activeness, and understanding of the material. In the first cycle, the average student learning outcomes only reached 69 with a completion percentage of 43%. After improvements were made in cycle II, the average learning outcome increased to 82 with a classical completion percentage of 86%. Thus, the use of audio-visual media has proven to be effective in improving student learning outcomes in Asmaul Husna material. This research provides an implication that teachers need to utilize innovative learning media to make learning more interesting and meaningful.

Abstract

Critical thinking skills are one aspect that every student must possess in mathematics learning, especially in elementary schools. This study aims to examine the impact of using a problem-based learning approach on students' critical thinking skills in mathematics learning. This research is a quantitative research with an experimental research type. The experimental design used in this study is a quasi-experimental study involving one experimental class and one control class. The population of this study was elementary school students. The sampling technique used was cluster random sampling. Data were obtained using test techniques, then analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results of the study indicate that the problem-based learning approach can have a significant effect on elementary school students' critical thinking skills in mathematics learning. This is evidenced by the results of descriptive statistical tests which show that the experimental class obtained an average score of 87.93 and the control class 65.35, meaning there is a gap of 25.68%. The t-test results also show that the significance value is 0.00 (<0.05), which means there is a difference in the critical thinking skills of students who participated in the mathematics learning process using the problem-based learning approach and those who did not. Based on these results, it is proven that the problem-based learning approach can be used as an alternative to optimize the critical thinking skills of elementary school students in mathematics learning.

Abstract

Vocabulary (mufrodat) mastery is an essential component in Arabic language learning at the madrasah ibtidaiyah level. However, classroom observations indicate that students’ vocabulary mastery remains low due to the limited availability of attractive and student-centered teaching materials. This study aims to develop booklet-based teaching materials that are valid, practical, and effective in improving the vocabulary mastery of fifth-grade students at MIN 3 Nagan Raya. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE model, which consists of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation stages. The research subjects were fifth-grade students of MIN 3 Nagan Raya. Data were collected through observation, interviews, questionnaires, and pretest–posttest assessments. The results of expert validation showed that the material validity reached 91.25% and media validity reached 93.75%, both categorized as very valid. The field trial results indicated positive responses from teachers and students, with an average score of 83.5% categorized as very good. Furthermore, the students’ average vocabulary mastery score increased from 62.4 in the pretest to 82.6 in the posttest. These findings indicate that the developed booklet-based teaching materials are valid, practical, and effective in improving students’ Arabic vocabulary mastery.

Abstract

Many elementary school pupils face emotional, social, and behavioral challenges that can negatively affect their academic performance and overall development. Despite this, counseling services are often underutilized or absent in early education, leaving gaps in pupils’ social-emotional support. The study adopted a descriptive survey design and was conducted among teachers and professional counsellors in Anambra State. Data were collected electronically using Google Form from 85 respondents categorized by years of experience. A structured questionnaire measured counseling integration, its impact on pupils’ socio emotional development, and its educational implications. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA at 0.05 significance level. Eighty-five respondents participated, with most having less than five years of experience (35.3%), followed by 15 to 25 years (30.6%). Findings showed strong agreement that counseling was integrated through structured activities, collaboration, timetable inclusion, and management support, though classroom integration of guidance topics was weaker. Integrated counseling positively influenced pupils’ emotional stability, relationships, and participation, though its effect on behavioral reduction was modest. Respondents also agreed that counseling strengthened discipline and overall school performance. ANOVA results revealed significant differences based on years of experience across all three hypotheses, leading to rejection of the null hypotheses. The study concludes that policymakers, educators, and school administrators must prioritize counseling integration to cultivate emotionally resilient, socially competent, and academically motivated pupils, thereby laying a firm foundation for lifelong learning.
