Penerapan Model Pembelajaran Berbasis Teknologi dalam Meningkatkan Pemahaman Materi Aqidah Akhlak pada Siswa SMPIT Cahaya Madani

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to improve students' understanding of Aqidah Akhlak in PAI (Pendidikan Agama Islam) through the application of a technology-based learning model at SMPIT Cahaya Madani. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. The technology-based model used interactive multimedia, digital storytelling, and educational apps to engage students actively in the learning process. The research involved 30 students in the 8th grade, and data were collected through tests, observations, and student feedback. The results showed a significant improvement in student comprehension, as reflected in their increased scores in post-test assessments and positive feedback on the learning experience. This research demonstrates that integrating technology into PAI lessons not only enhances students’ understanding of religious values but also makes learning more interactive and appealing. The findings suggest that incorporating digital tools into Islamic education can foster deeper engagement and better academic performance among students.
