This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the project-based learning model in enhancing students' critical thinking skills in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects in the fifth grade at SMPIT AULIA Muara Bulian,. The research method employed is true experimental with a quantitative approach. The study involves two groups: an experimental group that receives project-based learning and a control group that does not. Research instruments include pretests and posttests validated by experts. Statistical tests include normality tests, homogeneity tests, hypothesis testing using simple regression analysis, and Independent Sample t-Test. The research results indicate that the project-based learning model is effective in enhancing students' critical thinking skills. The experimental group showed significant improvement in posttest results compared to the control group. The normality and homogeneity tests indicated that the data were normally distributed and had homogeneous variance, thus valid for further analysis. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the project-based learning model be more widely implemented in PAI education to develop students' critical thinking skills from an early age.

EVALUATION OF THE APPLICATION OF SOCIAL INTERACTION THEORY IN INSTILLING CHARACTER VALUES

This research aims to evaluate the application of social interaction theory in instilling character values within Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects at Islamic educational institutions. The study investigates the extent to which social interaction theory is applied, the factors influencing its effectiveness, and the impact of social interaction on students' character formation. A qualitative approach was utilized, employing a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with PAI teachers, school administrators, and students, as well as classroom observations and document analysis. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns and themes from the data. The findings reveal that social interaction plays a significant role in character education, especially when teachers actively engage students in discussions, peer collaboration, and group work. Schools that provide adequate institutional support and have smaller class sizes create an environment where social interaction can flourish, leading to stronger internalization of values such as empathy, respect, and responsibility. However, the study also highlights challenges such as rigid curricula, cultural resistance, and technological limitations, which hinder the effective implementation of interactive learning methods. In conclusion, social interaction theory offers a valuable framework for character development in PAI learning. Its success depends on the commitment of educators and institutions to fostering collaborative and reflective learning environments. Addressing the identified challenges will be essential for maximizing the benefits of social interaction in character education.

Challenges in Islamic Education Curriculum Development: A Comparative Study of Indonesia, Pakistan, and India

This study identified the challenges in Islamic education curriculum development in Indonesia, Pakistan, and India. By using a paradigmatic interpretive approach, data were obtained from interviews with 15 international students enrolled for the Islamic studies doctoral program in Malaysia; these students were from Indonesia, Pakistan, and India. These students each have more than five years of experience teaching Islamic education subjects in their respective countries. The study found that, in Indonesia, the main challenges in Islamic education curriculum development are integrating the national curriculum with local and global diversity and increasing the accessibility of education for people at all levels of society. The gap between Islamic education patterns in madrasas and public schools should also be addressed. In Pakistan, the main challenge was the accessibility of education, especially in rural areas, and overcoming limited infrastructure and facilities that are the result of the government’s low education budget. Complex challenges, such as gender inequality, ethnic discrimination, and political conflict also hamper curriculum development efforts. In India, challenges center on the conflict between Islam and Hinduism; furthermore, disputes over history and religious identity complicate the integration of Islamic values into the broad curriculum. Another significant barrier is shortcomings in the technological expertise of teachers. While the challenges in the different countries differ, they share similarities in terms of the complexity of crafting a curriculum that is relevant to technological developments, and the needs of a dynamic job market. This study can contribute to policy-making, so that these three countries can work together to improve and enhance the quality of Islamic education.
