Integration Of Discussion Methods And Modelsproblem Based Learning On Learning Islamic Religious Education In Schools

Abstract

This study aims to describe the effectiveness of combining the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model and discussion methods in improving students' understanding of the material on the fate of muallaq and the fate of mubram. The research approach used was qualitative CAR. The results showed that PBL was able to present a problem-based learning situation that challenged students to examine the concept of human endeavor and God's decree more critically. Meanwhile, the discussion method strengthened the process of exploring ideas through the exchange of opinions, clarification of concepts, and strengthening theological understanding among students. The integration of PBL and discussion created an active, reflective, and investigative learning atmosphere so that students' understanding of the fate of muallaq and the fate of mubram increased significantly. In addition, the application of both approaches encouraged the growth of self-confidence, critical thinking skills, and problem-solving skills in the context of the study of faith. These findings recommend that the combination of problem-based learning and group dialogue can be an effective pedagogical innovation for learning the material on fate, which is abstract and requires in-depth reasoning.
