Pemanfaatan Teknologi Augmented Reality (AR) dalam Meningkatkan Keterlibatan Siswa pada Pembelajaran Sejarah Islam di UPT SDN 30 Koto Baru Rawang

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) study aimed to explore the use of 
Augmented Reality (AR) in enhancing student engagement and 
understanding of Islamic History in the Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI) 
subject at UPT SDN 30 Koto Baru Rawang. The study was conducted in 
two cycles, with each cycle involving planning, action, observation, and 
reflection. The intervention utilized AR technology to visualize key Islamic 
historical events, such as the Battle of Badr and the Hijra of Prophet 
Muhammad SAW, providing students with interactive and immersive 
learning experiences. Data were collected through observation, student 
surveys, and interviews to assess changes in engagement, motivation, and 
comprehension. Results indicated a significant improvement in student 
participation and enthusiasm in the PAI lessons. The students also showed 
better understanding and retention of Islamic historical events. 
Furthermore, AR was found to facilitate more collaborative learning and 
enhance critical thinking skills. Despite challenges such as limited 
technological resources, the study highlighted the potential of AR to create 
an engaging and meaningful learning environment. This research suggests 
that integrating AR into PAI can be a valuable tool to enhance educational 
outcomes in elementary school settings.
