The Development of Islamic Religious Education and Character Materials Online Based in Elementary Schools

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to find and develop teaching materials for improving the outcomes of student learning in the subjects of Islamic Religious Education and Moral Character (PAdB) in Elementary Schools (SD). Theoretical reference: The study utilizes the research and development (RnD) method as its theoretical framework. This method encompasses various research stages, including result examination, product development, testing, and iterative refinement. The study aligns with contemporary educational theories emphasizing the use of innovative teaching materials and online-based resources to enhance student engagement and understanding. Method: The research employs the RnD method to design and validate new teaching materials. The process involves multiple stages, starting with result analysis, leading to the creation of online-based teaching materials for the PAdB subjects in elementary schools. These materials are rigorously tested and refined based on feedback and identified weaknesses. Results and Conclusion: The following research findings have been identified: 1) students are actively involved in variations and innovations of online-based teaching materials in PAdB subjects in elementary schools in order to deliver intriguing experiences for students; 2) it is straightforward to access online-based teaching materials; 3) it is simple to understand and study material products in online-based teaching thoroughly; 4) providing learning opportunities for students through collaborative principles and the development of online-based PAdB learning material in elementary schools. Implications of research: The study's implications are far-reaching. It highlights the effectiveness of online-based teaching materials in improving student outcomes in PAdB subjects. This finding has practical implications for educators and curriculum designers, emphasizing the importance of integrating digital resources into elementary school education. Additionally, the collaborative learning approach introduced through online materials opens new avenues for enhancing student engagement. Originality/value: This research contributes to the field of education by presenting an innovative approach to teaching materials development and implementation. The use of online-based resources, combined with collaborative learning principles, is a novel and valuable strategy for improving student performance in PAdB subjects. This study's originality lies in its innovative pedagogical approach and its potential to transform elementary school education positively.
