Pemahaman Jihad dalam Islam melalui Model Pembelajaran Diferensiasi di SMPS Muhammadiyah Ujung Gading: Meningkatkan Pemahaman dan Aplikasi Nilai-Nilai Islam yang Relevan bagi Siswa

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to enhance students' 
understanding of the concept of "Jihad in Islam" through a Differentiated 
Instruction model at SMPS Muhammadiyah Ujung Gading. The study 
focuses on catering to the diverse learning needs of students by offering 
multiple pathways for learning, allowing students to engage with the 
material at their own pace and according to their strengths. Differentiated 
Instruction involves adjusting content, process, and product based on the 
students' readiness levels, interests, and learning profiles. This research will 
be conducted in two cycles, each including planning, action, observation, 
and reflection. Data will be collected through observations, student 
feedback, and pre- and post-tests to assess changes in students' 
understanding of Jihad in Islam, as well as their ability to apply its 
principles in real-life contexts. The goal of this research is to evaluate how 
Differentiated Instruction can improve students' comprehension of religious 
teachings while accommodating various learning styles. The findings will 
provide insights into the effectiveness of Differentiated Instruction in 
teaching complex religious concepts and help inform future teaching 
strategies in Islamic education.
