Abstract

This study aims to improve student achievement and learning activities through the application of the Learning Cycle learning method to first-grade students of SD Negeri No. 101014 Ulumamis in the 2024/2025 academic year. The research method used in this study is Classroom Action Research (CAR), which is carried out in several cycles. Each cycle consists of stages of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection to see the development of student learning outcomes. The subjects of the study were first-grade students of SD Negeri No. 101014 Ulumamis in the 2024/2025 academic year. Data were collected through observation, evaluation tests, and interviews with teachers and students. The results of the study showed that the application of the Learning Cycle method can significantly increase student learning activities. Students are more enthusiastic in participating in learning, more active in asking questions, and more easily understand the material presented. The results of the evaluation conducted after the application of the Learning Cycle method showed an increase in the average score of students compared to before the application of this method. Based on the results of this study, the Learning Cycle method is recommended as an effective learning strategy to improve achievement and learning activities of PAI at the elementary school level. Thus, the application of the Learning Cycle method in Islamic Religious Education learning, especially in the material of the exemplary story of Prophet Idris A.S. can be an alternative that can be applied by teachers in an effort to improve the quality of learning in the classroom.
