Meningkatkan Pemahaman Aqidah Islam melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis Proyek pada Siswa di SDN 9 Limo Koto

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to enhance students' 
understanding of Islamic Aqidah through project-based learning at SDN 9 
Limo Koto. The study was conducted in two cycles, each consisting of 
planning, action, observation, and reflection. The research involved 5th
grade students and focused on applying a project-based approach to make 
the learning of Aqidah more engaging and meaningful. Data were collected 
through observations, student reflections, and interviews. The results 
showed that project-based learning improved students' understanding of 
Aqidah, as they were given opportunities to work on projects related to 
Islamic beliefs and values. These projects included group activities, 
presentations, and creating visual representations of core Aqidah concepts, 
which made the learning process more interactive and practical. As a result, 
students demonstrated increased comprehension of Islamic principles, as 
well as greater enthusiasm in learning. The research indicates that project
based learning is an effective strategy to improve students' understanding 
of religious concepts, as it encourages active participation and deeper 
engagement. Teachers are encouraged to implement this method to enhance 
students' learning experiences and foster a more comprehensive 
understanding of Aqidah in Islamic education.
