The respondents in this study were 12 fourth-grade students at SDN 045/V Teluk Nilau. Result: The application of the PBL model can increase students' interest in learning, understanding of concepts, and motivation, which has an impact on improving their learning outcomes. Based on the test results, students significantly improved their understanding of the material taught. Conclusion: The PBL model effectively improves students' learning outcomes on the material "Welcoming Puberty" and positively impacts students' interest and motivation to learn. Contribution: This study contributes insights for teachers to apply more interactive and relevant learning models, which can improve the quality of Islamic Education learning in elementary schools and open opportunities for further research in developing more varied and effective learning methods.

Permasalahan dalam penelitian ini adalah pembelajaran yang berpusat pada guru, peserta didik yang pasif dan terdapat ketimpangan hasil belajar peserta didik pada ranah kognitif pada mata pelajaran Aqidah Akhlak. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui peningkatan hasil belajar akidah akhlak materi adab shalat dan zikir melalui metode group investigation. Jenis penelitian yang dilakukan adalah Penelitian Tindakan Kelas. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap peserta didik kelas 7 MTsS Riyadlurrohmah sebanyak 13 orang yang terdiri dari 7 laki-laki dan 6 perempuan. Pada siklus I terdapat 4 peserta didik (31%) yang mencapai Kriteria Ketuntasan Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP) dengan kriteria kurang dan 9 peserta didik (69%) yang mencapai Kriteria Ketuntasan Tujuan Pembelajaran (KKTP) dengan kriteria baik. Selanjutnya, pada siklus II terdapat 1 peserta didik (7,7%) yang mencapai KKTP dengan kriteria cukup, 8 peserta didik (61,5%) yang mencapai KKTP dengan kriteria baik, dan 4 peserta didik (30,8%) yang mencapai KKTP dengan kriteria sangat baik. Dengan tercapainya KKTP dengan kriteria cukup, baik dan sangat baik tersebut, maka penelitian tindakan kelas ini dihentikan pada siklus II dan diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa penggunaan metode group investigation dapat meningkatkan hasil belajar peserta didik pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak materi adab shalat dan zikir.

Background: This study was motivated by the low learning outcomes of grade X IPS-2 students in the Akidah Akhlak at MAS Mansyaul Ulum, even though this subject is important for students' character and moral development. Objective: This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of grade X IPS-2 students in the Akidah Akhlak subject at MAS Mansyaul Ulum through the Student Team Achievement Division (STAD) cooperative learning model. Method: The research design used Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in three cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, and reflection, with 21 students as subjects. Data were collected through observation and learning achievement tests and analyzed quantitatively based on the Minimum Competency Criteria (KKM) of 75%. Results: There was a significant increase in student activity and learning outcomes: in the first cycle, student activity was 54.2% with learning outcomes of 28.57%; in the second cycle, activity increased to 71.42% with learning outcomes of 66.67%, and in the third cycle, activity reached 95.23%, with 100% of students achieving the MCC and an average class score of 91.42. Conclusion: The STAD model effectively improves student activity and learning outcomes in Akidah Akhlak. Contribution: This study contributes as a cooperative model that can enhance student engagement in learning based on moral and religious values.

Background: This study is motivated by the low academic performance of seventh-grade students at MTs Ash-Shiddiqin in Aqidah Akhlaq, with many students failing to meet the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) of 75. Objective: The aim of this study is to improve students' academic performance in Aqidah Akhlaq by implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) method. Method: This study uses Classroom Action Research (CAR) with a quantitative descriptive approach, involving observation, final tests, and documentation. The subjects of the research are seventh-grade students at MTs Ash-Shiddiqin, located in Cikoneng District, Ciamis Regency. Result: The results show a significant improvement in student performance after the implementation of the PBL method. In the pre-cycle, the average student score was 65.37, with a completion percentage of 22.22%. In Cycle 1, the average score increased to 70.37, with a completion percentage of 44.44%. Cycle 2 showed an average score of 75.74 with a completion percentage of 74.07%, and in Cycle 3, the average score reached 81.48, with a completion percentage of 92.59%. Conclusion: The application of the PBL method can significantly improve student learning outcomes in Aqidah Akhlaq education. Contribution: This study contributes by providing an alternative teaching method that can enhance students' understanding and academic performance in Aqidah Akhlaq and can be applied to other religious education subjects.

Background: The application of effective teaching methods is essential for improving student learning outcomes, particularly in subjects related to character development, such as Aqidah Akhlak. One proven effective method is Index Card Match (ICM), which combines elements of collaboration and problem-solving in learning. Objective: This study aims to determine the extent to which the application of the Index Card Match (ICM) method can improve student learning outcomes in Aqidah Akhlak at MTs Ash-Shiddiqin. Method: This research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design. The subjects of the study were eighth-grade students of MTs Ash-Shiddiqin, divided into two groups: the experimental group using the ICM method and the control group using conventional teaching methods. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests to measure the improvement in student learning outcomes. Results: The research findings indicate that the group using the Index Card Match method showed significant improvement in learning outcomes compared to the control group. This improvement was evident from the higher post-test scores in the experimental group. Conclusion: The application of the Index Card Match (ICM) method is proven to be effective in improving student learning outcomes in Aqidah Akhlak. This method can serve as a good alternative for collaborative learning and a deeper understanding of moral concepts. Contribution: This study contributes to the development of active learning methods that can be applied in Aqidah Akhlak education and provides insights for educators to use more interactive and engaging methods to enhance student learning outcomes.
