Abstract

Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh rendahnya hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi zakat dalam mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di kelas V UPTD SDN 2 Citalang, Kecamatan Tegalwaru, Kabupaten Purwakarta. Hasil observasi awal menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar peserta didik belum mencapai Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal (KKM), serta masih menunjukkan partisipasi yang rendah selama proses pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik melalui penerapan model pembelajaran Mind Mapping. Penelitian menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) model Kemmis dan McTaggart yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus, masing-masing meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian berjumlah 37 peserta didik kelas V. Data dikumpulkan melalui tes hasil belajar, observasi aktivitas peserta didik, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kuantitatif dan deskriptif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan model Mind Mapping mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik secara bertahap. Ketuntasan belajar meningkat dari 45,95% pada pra siklus menjadi 62,16% pada Siklus I dan kembali meningkat menjadi 86,49% pada Siklus II. Rata-rata nilai peserta didik juga mengalami peningkatan dari 63 pada pra siklus menjadi 72,30 pada Siklus I dan 83,51 pada Siklus II. Selain itu, aktivitas belajar peserta didik meningkat dari kategori cukup pada Siklus I menjadi baik pada Siklus II. Dengan demikian, model pembelajaran Mind Mapping terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan aktivitas dan hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi zakat. This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in the topic of zakat in Islamic Religious Education at UPTD SDN 2 Citalang, Tegalwaru District, Purwakarta Regency. Preliminary observations revealed that most students had not achieved the school's Minimum Mastery Criterion (MMC) and showed limited participation during classroom learning. This study aimed to improve students' learning outcomes through the implementation of the Mind Mapping learning model. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of two cycles: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 37 fifth-grade students. Data were collected through achievement tests, classroom observations, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively using learning mastery percentages and mean scores, while qualitative data were analyzed descriptively based on classroom observations. The findings indicated that the implementation of the Mind Mapping learning model significantly improved students' learning outcomes. Learning mastery increased from 45.95% in the pre-cycle to 62.16% in Cycle I and further increased to 86.49% in Cycle II. The class mean score also improved from 63.00 in the pre-cycle to 72.30 in Cycle I and 83.51 in Cycle II. In addition, students' learning activities improved from the fair category in Cycle I to the good category in Cycle II. These findings demonstrate that the Mind Mapping learning model is effective in enhancing both students' learning activities and learning outcomes on the topic of zakat.

Abstract

Rendahnya hasil belajar peserta didik pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) menunjukkan perlunya inovasi pembelajaran yang mampu mengintegrasikan teknologi dengan strategi pedagogis secara efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik melalui penerapan pendekatan Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) pada materi Menghadirkan Salat dalam Kehidupan. Penelitian menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) dengan model Kemmis dan McTaggart yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus, masing-masing meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah 37 peserta didik kelas VII B SMP Negeri 2 Panji Tahun Pelajaran 2024/2025. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, tes, dan dokumentasi. Data kualitatif dianalisis menggunakan model Miles, Huberman, dan Saldaña, sedangkan data kuantitatif dianalisis secara deskriptif melalui perhitungan nilai rata-rata dan persentase ketuntasan belajar klasikal. Indikator keberhasilan penelitian ditetapkan apabila minimal 80% peserta didik mencapai Kriteria Ketercapaian Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan TPACK mampu meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik secara bertahap. Pada asesmen awal, ketuntasan belajar klasikal mencapai 40,54% (15 dari 37 peserta didik). Setelah tindakan pada siklus I, ketuntasan meningkat menjadi 64,86% (24 peserta didik), dan pada siklus II meningkat kembali menjadi 83,78% (31 peserta didik), sehingga melampaui indikator keberhasilan yang telah ditetapkan. Selain itu, aktivitas peserta didik meningkat hingga mencapai kategori aktif, sementara aktivitas guru mengalami peningkatan dari kategori cukup menjadi aktif. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan TPACK mampu meningkatkan kualitas proses pembelajaran sekaligus hasil belajar peserta didik pada materi Menghadirkan Salat dalam Kehidupan. Low learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) indicate the need for instructional innovation that effectively integrates technology with appropriate pedagogical strategies. This study aimed to improve students' learning outcomes through the implementation of the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) framework in the topic Integrating Prayer into Daily Life. The study employed Classroom Action Research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of two cycles: planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 37 seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 2 Panji during the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through classroom observation, learning achievement tests, and documentation. Qualitative data were analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña interactive model, while quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics through mean scores and classical learning mastery percentages. The study was considered successful when at least 80% of students achieved the Minimum Learning Mastery Criteria (KKTP). The findings demonstrated that the implementation of TPACK progressively improved students' learning outcomes. Initial assessment results showed a classical learning mastery of 40.54% (15 of 37 students). Following the first cycle, mastery increased to 64.86% (24 students), and further improved to 83.78% (31 students) in the second cycle, exceeding the predetermined success criterion. In addition, students' classroom participation improved to the active category, while teacher performance increased from the fair to the active category. These findings indicate that the TPACK framework effectively enhances both the quality of classroom instruction and students' learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education.

Abstract

Rendahnya minat belajar peserta didik menjadi salah satu kendala dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI), terutama ketika pembelajaran masih didominasi metode ceramah dan kurang melibatkan peserta didik secara aktif. Penelitian ini bertujuan meningkatkan minat belajar PAI melalui penerapan gamification berbantuan Wordwall yang dipadukan dengan model Problem Based Learning (PBL). Penelitian menggunakan metode Penelitian Tindakan Kelas (PTK) yang dilaksanakan dalam dua siklus. Setiap siklus meliputi tahap perencanaan, pelaksanaan tindakan, observasi, dan refleksi. Subjek penelitian adalah 26 peserta didik kelas IV SDN Kadumekar. Data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif menggunakan persentase perkembangan minat belajar pada empat indikator, yaitu perasaan senang, ketertarikan, perhatian, dan keterlibatan aktif. Hasil pra-siklus menunjukkan sekitar 65% peserta didik memiliki minat belajar PAI yang rendah. Setelah tindakan diberikan, seluruh indikator minat belajar mengalami peningkatan. Pada Siklus I peserta didik yang mencapai kategori Meningkat Sesuai Harapan (MSH) masih berkisar antara 30,8% hingga 42,4%. Setelah dilakukan perbaikan tindakan pada Siklus II, persentase peserta didik yang mencapai kategori MSH meningkat menjadi 73,1% pada indikator perasaan senang, ketertarikan, dan perhatian, serta 76,9% pada indikator keterlibatan aktif. Hasil tersebut menunjukkan bahwa penerapan gamification berbantuan Wordwall melalui Problem Based Learning berhasil meningkatkan minat belajar Pendidikan Agama Islam peserta didik kelas IV SDN Kadumekar. Low learning interest remains one of the major challenges in Islamic Religious Education (IRE), particularly when classroom instruction is dominated by teacher-centered lectures with limited student engagement. This study aimed to improve students' interest in learning IRE through the implementation of Wordwall-assisted gamification integrated with the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model. This study employed Classroom Action Research based on the Kemmis and McTaggart model, consisting of two action cycles: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. The participants were 26 fourth-grade students at SDN Kadumekar. Data were collected through classroom observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using qualitative and quantitative descriptive techniques based on four indicators of learning interest: enjoyment, attraction, attention, and active participation. Initial observations revealed that approximately 65% of students demonstrated low interest in learning Islamic Religious Education. Following the implementation of the intervention, students' learning interest improved across all indicators. In Cycle I, students achieving the Expected Improvement (MSH) category ranged from 30.8% to 42.4%. After revising the instructional strategy in Cycle II, the proportion increased to 73.1% for enjoyment, attraction, and attention, while active participation reached 76.9%. These findings indicate that Wordwall-assisted gamification integrated with Problem-Based Learning effectively enhances students' interest in learning Islamic Religious Education in elementary schools.

Abstract

Wealth inequality has reached a historic high in American history, particularly among households with children. Children's literature portrays these economic disparities, often evoking strong emotions in young readers. Society has a responsibility to expose children to literature that teaches them to value diverse human experiences. This study investigated how children's literary fiction depicts scenarios of wealth inequality. Using critical literacy theory, we examined the extent to which characters and their circumstances are represented through a deficit or an asset lens. This study provides insights into children's books addressing issues of wealth inequality and offers recommendations for teachers navigating discussions of wealth inequality in children's literature.

Abstract

Many countries facing challenges in creating employment opportunities for young people view the development of youth entrepreneurs as an important economic strategy and have introduced programs to assist aspiring young entrepreneurs in starting businesses. While formal education is a key element of most initiatives, opportunities for active experiential learning and real start-up experience are frequently lacking. This paper presents a case study of the Ontario Government’s SummerCo Program, designed to bridge this gap. Since 2001, it has funded over 6,000 student start-ups. Students aged 15-29, receive funding and support to start and run a business for the summer.  The program has provided data from participant end-of-program questionnaires for the years 2006-2014, some 4,562 responses, along with published reports and other material. This paper examines the types of businesses established, business performance, participants’ feedback, and the overall program impact. Participants reported high levels of program satisfaction. 99% would recommend the Program to others and 85% felt they had achieved all their objectives for taking the program. Student participants have a much lower rate of unemployment, post-graduation. Finally, the program generated significant economic value.

Abstract

This article presents the results of a study of the professional legacy of Swedish difference feminist and educator Ellen Key (1849–1926). Two texts were selected for analysis: The Century of the Child (one of Key’s principal pedagogical works) and Education. A Few Suggestions (a text that provides insight into the primary school teacher’s understanding of three contemporary educational issues, Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Citizenship Education (GCED), critical thinking, and connections between real-world knowledge and learning). The purpose of this article is to examine and evaluate Key’s educational legacy in relation to contemporary primary education issues, including globalization and sustainability, critical thinking, and the relationship between learning and real-world knowledge. The findings confirm the relevance of these educational issues within Key’s pedagogical system and provide a clearer understanding of how they were interpreted in her educational philosophy.
