Abstrak

This study aims to describe the implementation of active learning strategies and analyze their contribution to improving the effectiveness of Islamic Education (PAI) learning at MTs Al-Ishlah Sukadamai, Natar District, South Lampung Regency. This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through classroom observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The participants included Islamic Education teachers, the school principal, and students. The findings indicate that active learning was implemented through various instructional activities such as group discussions, think-pair-share, educational games, Islamic value presentations, and worship simulations. These strategies effectively enhanced student engagement, learning motivation, classroom interaction, and comprehension of Islamic teachings. Students became more active, confident, and capable of connecting religious concepts to real-life contexts. Although some challenges were identified, such as limited instructional time and media availability, active learning remained effective in improving the overall quality of Islamic Education learning. Therefore, this strategy is recommended for broader implementation as an innovative approach to increasing learning effectiveness.
