Peningkatan Hasil Belajar Siswa pada Mata Pelajaran Aqidah Akhlak Materi Akhlak Terpuji pada Diri Sendiri dengan Menggunakan Model Role Playing

Abstract

This Classroom Action Research aims to improve student learning outcomes in the aqidah akhlaq (Islamic creed and character) subject specifically regarding the topic of praiseworthy personal character through the implementation of the Role-Playing learning model. The study was conducted because learning outcomes for this topic were suboptimal; some students struggled to comprehend the material and relate moral values ​​to their daily lives, while the prevalence of the lecture method resulted in low student engagement. The research subjects consisted of 20 eighth-grade students from MTsS Alkhairaat Mamboro. The study employed a two-cycle design, with each cycle comprising planning, action implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through learning achievement tests, observations of student and teacher activities, and documentation. The results showed an increase in the average score from 62.25 at the initial stage to 71.50 in Cycle I and 82.25 in Cycle II. Learning mastery rates rose from 35% initially to 60% in Cycle I and 90% in Cycle II. Consequently, the implementation of the Role-Playing model successfully improved learning outcomes as well as students' active participation, confidence, cooperation, communication skills, and ability to connect moral values ​​with daily life.
