Pengembangan Keterampilan Sosial Siswa melalui Pembelajaran Berbasis Augmented Reality (AR) dalam Mata Pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam di UPT SDN 13 Pelangai Kecil

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to explore the 
implementation of Augmented Reality (AR) technology in enhancing 
students' understanding and engagement in the subject of Islamic Education 
(PAI) at UPT SDN 13 Pelangai Kecil. The research is conducted in two 
cycles, each comprising planning, action, observation, and reflection. The 
use of AR technology in this study involves visualizing key Islamic 
historical events, such as the Hijra and the Battle of Badr, providing 
students with interactive and immersive learning experiences. Data 
collection methods include observations, student surveys, and interviews to 
evaluate the changes in student motivation, participation, and 
comprehension of Islamic history. The results indicate a notable increase in 
student involvement in class discussions and a deeper understanding of the 
material. Moreover, AR has been shown to effectively enhance student 
engagement by creating a more dynamic and enjoyable learning 
environment. Despite some challenges related to limited technological 
resources and the need for teacher training, the study concludes that AR can 
significantly contribute to improving the quality of Islamic Education 
lessons. This research highlights the potential of integrating AR in PAI 
teaching to foster a more engaging, interactive, and impactful learning 
experience for students.
