Evaluasi Program Pembelajaran Mendalam Berbasis Diskusi Kritis untuk Meningkatkan Sikap Demokratis Mahasiswa melalui Pendidikan Pancasila
Pancasila Education in higher education aims to shape students' democratic character. However, dominant conventional methods like lectures fail to foster democratic attitudes due to low student engagement, hindering the internalization of values like tolerance and responsibility. The deep learning approach, emphasizing meaningful understanding and critical reflection, offers a solution. It aligns with Pancasila Education's need for critical dialogue on values. A key strategy is critical discussion of controversial issues, which trains argumentation, empathy, and deliberation skills. Although such a deep learning program has been implemented in the Pancasila course at PAI UIN Mahmud Yunus Batusangkar, its effectiveness in enhancing democratic attitudes lacks systematic evaluation. This study aims to evaluate the program's implementation in improving PAI students' democratic attitudes. The evaluation covers input (planning), process (class discussion), and outcomes (attitudinal changes). Findings are expected to provide feedback for program improvement and contribute to scholarly innovation in Pancasila Education.

The aim of this research is to investigate how PBL can enhance students’ understanding of Fiqh by engaging them in real-world projects that integrate Islamic legal principles into practical scenarios. PBL is known to foster critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, making it an effective approach for deeper learning in religious education. This research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and surveys of students to gather data on the effectiveness of PBL in the Fiqh curriculum. The findings indicate that when students are given the opportunity to work on projects, such as creating community awareness programs or simulating Islamic legal case studies, they demonstrate improved understanding of Fiqh concepts and principles. Additionally, the study reveals that PBL promotes active learning, where students are motivated to research, discuss, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. However, challenges such as time constraints and varying levels of student participation were noted. This research emphasizes the importance of providing adequate support and resources for both students and teachers to ensure the successful implementation of PBL. Overall, the study concludes that PBL offers a promising approach to teaching Fiqh at MIS Maraqitta'limat Mandala, enhancing student engagement and fostering a deeper understanding of Islamic law through practical, hands-on learning experiences.
Enhancing Early Childhood Islamic Education through Creative Play-Based Learning at RA Darul Hikmah: A Classroom Action Research
This Classroom Action Research (CAR) aims to explore the impact of creative play-based learning on enhancing early childhood Islamic education at RA Darul Hikmah. Early childhood education plays a pivotal role in shaping the foundation of children’s understanding and values, especially in the context of Islamic teachings. However, traditional methods that rely heavily on memorization and passive learning may not effectively engage young learners. This study investigates how creative, play-based activities can foster a more engaging, meaningful, and enjoyable learning experience for children while improving their understanding of Islamic values, stories, and basic religious practices. The research was conducted in two cycles, each involving planning, action, observation, and reflection. The participants were 30 children from a kindergarten class at RA Darul Hikmah. Data were gathered through classroom observations, interviews with teachers, and assessments before and after implementing the play-based learning activities. The findings indicate that students became more engaged and enthusiastic about learning Islamic studies when activities included interactive games, role-playing, and storytelling. Additionally, children showed a deeper understanding of Islamic concepts and were able to express these ideas more confidently in daily situations. This study demonstrates that creative play-based learning significantly enhances early childhood Islamic education by actively involving children in their learning process. The results suggest that when children are given the opportunity to learn through play, they develop not only cognitive skills but also emotional and social skills, leading to a holistic understanding of Islam. The research contributes to the ongoing efforts to modernize Islamic education in early childhood settings, offering valuable insights for educators seeking to implement more engaging and effective teaching methods.
