Abstract

Education is essential for every human being. Numerous studies are conducted with the goal of continually improving existing education. The development of learning models for quality education, both nationally and internationally, is becoming increasingly clear. Educational development must improve year after year to meet the needs of the ever-evolving era, which is constantly evolving with the currents of globalization. This ongoing renewal process also impacts educational curricula in both schools and universities. Therefore, curriculum reform is necessary so that classroom learning models and activities can stimulate the growth of creative, critical, and active thinking.

Education, which is constantly undergoing change and improvement, is expected to improve the quality of human resources (HR). This is crucial in this era of globalization so that we can compete for a better life. According to Sugihartono (2012:3), education is a conscious and deliberate effort to change human behavior, both individually and in groups, to mature human beings through teaching and training. By striving for varied and high-quality teaching, it is hoped that it will help students achieve their learning goals in a mature and optimal manner and increase their enthusiasm and motivation to learn with the support of teachers. However, recently, students' enthusiasm for learning has been declining, and their grades have also been getting lower, especially in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education.

This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of fifth-grade students in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at Salido Kecil 05 Public Elementary School through active learning methods. The research method used was Classroom Action Research (CAR). The results showed that active learning methods can improve students' PAI learning outcomes.
