Penerapan Pembelajaran Kontekstual Guru PAI untuk Meningkatkan Prestasi Belajar Peserta Didik di MTs Alkhaerat Maleni Tahun ajaran 2024/2025

Abstract

Contextual learning is an approach that aims to link course material with students' experiences and environments. This study aims to explore the application of contextual learning by Islamic Education (PAI) teachers at MTs Alkhaerat Maleni to enhance student academic achievement in the 2024/2025 academic year. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, data were collected from observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The results indicate that the application of contextual learning positively affects students' motivation and academic performance. Furthermore, students actively engaged in contextual learning show a better understanding of religious education materials. This study provides recommendations for intensively training teachers in implementing this approach, as well as encouraging creative methods in PAI instruction.
