Abstract

The low level of students' understanding of the values ​​of diversity in Islamic teachings, particularly in Q.S. Al-Hujurāt/49:13, encourages the need for learning strategies that can facilitate conceptual understanding while strengthening social attitudes. This study aims to analyze efforts to improve the understanding of fourth-grade students of Sumurboto Public Elementary School through the implementation of the Think-Pair-Share (TPS) cooperative learning model. This study uses a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach which is implemented in three cycles, each including the planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. The research subjects were 26 students (9 boys and 17 girls). Data collection was carried out through learning outcome tests, participatory observations, and interviews, with qualitative and quantitative descriptive data analysis. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' understanding: the percentage of learning completion increased from 55% (cycle I), 75% (cycle II), to 90% in cycle III. The average score also increased from 74 on the pre-test to 88 on the post-test. Furthermore, students' social interactions and engagement in discussions increased, indicating that TPS was effective in fostering collaboration and connecting diversity values ​​to real-life contexts. These findings provide an original contribution to the application of cooperative models for teaching Islamic values ​​in elementary schools, while also enriching inclusive and contextual pedagogical practices

Abstract

The low understanding of students on religious history materials, especially the story of the migration of the Prophet Muhammad to Medina, encourages the need for innovation in learning strategies that are able to attract interest and increase student involvement. This study aims to analyze the improvement of the learning ability of grade IV students of SD Negeri 3 Kedungleper Bangsri, Jepara, through the application of multimedia-based storytelling learning methods to the material. The research uses a Classroom Action Research (PTK) approach with a two-cycle design, each including the stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The research subjects consist of 15 grade IV students in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data was collected through formative tests, observation of student activities, and documentation, then analyzed descriptively, qualitatively, and quantitatively to measure improvement in understanding and participation. The results showed a significant improvement: the average formative test score rose from 76 in cycle I to 90 in cycle II, while the average score of student activity observation increased from 17.6 to 27.5. These findings prove that multimedia-based storytelling methods are effective in strengthening concept understanding while increasing students' emotional and cognitive involvement with Islamic history materials. This research makes an original contribution to the development of a religious learning approach that is contextual, interesting, and in accordance with the characteristics of elementary school-age students, and can be adapted to other religious history materials.
