Meningkatkan Pemahaman Siswa tentang Hikmah Berpuasa Melalui Pembelajaran PAI di SD Negeri 04 Lundar

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to enhance students' 
understanding of the spiritual and social wisdom of fasting (hikmah 
berpuasa) through Islamic Education (PAI) lessons at SD Negeri 04 Lundar. 
Fasting, as one of the pillars of Islam, is not only a physical act of abstaining 
from food and drink but also carries profound wisdom in developing self
discipline, empathy, and gratitude. This research focuses on applying 
interactive teaching methods to make the concept of fasting more relatable 
and impactful for students, including discussions, storytelling, and 
reflection activities. The study was conducted over two cycles, each 
consisting of planning, action, observation, and reflection. Data were 
collected through observations, interviews, and assessments to evaluate the 
improvement in students' understanding and application of the wisdom of 
fasting in their daily lives. The results indicate that students’ understanding 
of fasting's wisdom deepened, particularly in areas like empathy for the less 
fortunate and self-control. This study highlights the importance of 
integrating practical teachings about fasting into the classroom to foster 
positive character development among students, ensuring that they not only 
understand its religious significance but also apply its teachings in their 
personal lives.
