Problem Based Learning Model, improving Student Learning MotivationAbstract
This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in improving student motivation in Islamic Education at SMP Negeri 1 Aen Natas. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) approach, conducted in two cycles, with 30 seventh-grade students participating. The study focused on enhancing student engagement, participation, and motivation by applying real-world problems that required students to utilize Islamic principles in their problem-solving process. Data were collected using pre- and post-assessment questionnaires, classroom observations, and student feedback. The findings revealed a significant improvement in student motivation throughout the two cycles. In the first cycle, students demonstrated increased participation, enthusiasm, and a stronger connection to the subject matter. After the second cycle, students showed higher confidence, more active engagement in group work, and a greater interest in Islamic Education. The collaborative nature of PBL, coupled with the relevance of the problems presented, played a key role in fostering student motivation and enhancing their learning experience. The study concluded that the implementation of the PBL model was effective in improving student motivation in Islamic Education. The approach not only encouraged critical thinking and problem-solving skills but also made the subject matter more meaningful and applicable to students' daily lives. These findings highlight the potential of PBL as a valuable strategy for enhancing student motivation and engagement in educational settings.
