Implementation of Group Discussion Method to Improve Students' Understanding of Asmaul Husana Material at SD Negeri 003 Sei Menggaris
This research was motivated by the low level of understanding of the Asmaul Husana (Asmaul Husana) among fourth-grade students at SDN 003 Sei Menggaris, caused by the dominance of monotonous lecture methods. This condition makes students passive, often memorizing without understanding the spiritual meaning of the names of Allah. This study aims to improve student understanding through the application of group discussions. The type of research used was Classroom Action Research (CAR), conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Twenty students participated in the study. Data were collected through activity observation, documentation, and learning outcome tests. The results showed significant improvement in each cycle. In the pre-cycle stage, the classical completion rate was only 40%. After the action was implemented in Cycle I, the completion rate increased to 65%, peaking at 90% in Cycle II, with a class average score of 84. In addition to cognitive aspects, student activity and engagement in the learning process also increased dramatically. Students became more confident in expressing their opinions and were able to work effectively in groups. The conclusion of this study is that the group discussion method has proven effective in deepening the understanding of the Asmaul Husana material and is able to create a more interactive, collaborative, and meaningful Islamic Religious Education learning atmosphere for elementary school students.

Application of the Value Clarification Technique Method to Improve the Internalization of Students' Akhlakul Karimah Values at MA Yapis Al-Oesmaniyyah
This study aims to improve the internalization of Akhlakul Karimah (noble character) values among students through the application of the Value Clarification Technique (VCT) method at MA Yapis Al-Oesmaniyyah. The research employed a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design conducted in two cycles, involving 32 eleventh-grade students. Each cycle consisted of planning, action, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through observation sheets, value internalization questionnaires, reflective journals, and documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics to measure the improvement of students’ internalization scores, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic reflection to capture behavioral changes. The results indicate a significant improvement in students’ internalization of Akhlakul Karimah values after the implementation of VCT. The average pre-action score was 61.84 (moderate category), which increased to 74.37 in Cycle I and further improved to 86.12 in Cycle II (high category). The percentage of students achieving the predetermined mastery criterion (≥75) increased from 34.38% in the pre-cycle to 65.63% in Cycle I and 90.63% in Cycle II. Observational data also revealed notable improvements in students’ honesty, responsibility, discipline, respect, and empathy during classroom interactions. The reflective process demonstrated that VCT encouraged students to critically examine moral dilemmas, articulate personal values, and commit to consistent moral behavior. The findings confirm that the Value Clarification Technique method is effective in fostering deeper moral value internalization in Islamic Religious Education. This study contributes empirically to innovative pedagogical approaches for strengthening character education within Islamic secondary schools and supports the integration of reflective-value-based learning strategies to promote sustainable moral development.
