Penerapan Metode STEAM Islami dalam Pembelajaran PAI untuk Meningkatkan Kreativitas di SDN 16 IV Koto Aur Malintang

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to explore the application of the 
Islamic STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) method 
in Islamic Education (PAI) lessons to enhance students' creativity at SDN 16 IV 
Koto Aur Malintang. The research was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle 
consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The application 
of the STEAM Islamic approach integrates Islamic values with the five disciplines 
of STEAM to create an engaging and innovative learning environment. The study 
involved 30 students from grade 5, and data were collected through observations, 
interviews, and questionnaires. The results indicate that implementing the STEAM 
Islamic method significantly improved students' creativity, both in cognitive and 
psychomotor aspects. The students demonstrated increased enthusiasm, critical 
thinking, and problem-solving skills. Furthermore, they were able to apply Islamic 
values in their learning process, connecting science and technology with moral 
principles. This research shows that the STEAM Islamic approach can be an 
effective method to foster creativity and enhance the quality of Islamic Education 
at elementary schools.
