Meningkatkan Keterampilan Sholat melalui Pendekatan Simulasi dan Refleksi dalam Pembelajaran PAI di SDIT Jabal Rahmah

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to improve students' skills in performing Sholat through the simulation and reflection approach in the Islamic Education (PAI) subject at SDIT Jabal Rahmah. The research addresses the challenge that many students struggle to perform Sholat correctly despite learning its theoretical aspects. The simulation approach was chosen as it provides students with opportunities to actively engage in performing the prayer, while the reflection process allows them to assess their understanding and correct mistakes. The study was conducted in two cycles, with each cycle consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observations of students’ participation, teacher interviews, and performance assessments. The findings show that the combination of simulation and reflection significantly improved students' Sholat skills, as well as their understanding of the meanings and importance of each movement and prayer. This research highlights the effectiveness of using simulation and reflection in teaching practical religious skills, demonstrating that active involvement and self-assessment can enhance the learning experience and help students perform Sholat correctly.
