Abstrak

Abstract

This study aims to describe the implementation of the Multiple Intelligences (MI) theory, cooperative learning, and open-ended project approaches in improving the quality of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning at SMP Islam Al-Falah. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The participants consisted of PAI teachers, eighth-grade students, and school personnel selected through purposive sampling. The findings indicate that the application of MI accommodates students’ diverse intelligence profiles through varied learning activities; cooperative learning enhances social interaction, collaboration, and active participation; while open-ended projects provide opportunities for creativity and authentic learning through real-life products that reflect Islamic values. The integration of these three approaches effectively increases students’ motivation, creativity, and cognitive and affective understanding of Islamic Religious Education materials. In conclusion, the synergy of MI theory, cooperative learning, and open-ended project approaches is effective in creating more active, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate PAI learning experiences.
