Improving Student Learning Outcomes Using Audio-Visual Media in Learning Islamic Religious Education in Grade 4 SD N 11 Lubuk Gadang

Abstract

This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SDN 11 Lubuk Gadang through the application of audio-visual media. The research uses the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method with two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The results show that in Cycle I, despite some progress, students' learning outcomes were still low, with only 60% achieving mastery. In Cycle II, after improvements were made, there was a significant increase with 80% of students reaching mastery. The use of more interactive audio-visual media and the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model proved to enhance student engagement and understanding of the material. Based on these results, it can be concluded that optimal use of audio-visual media can improve student learning outcomes and make learning more engaging and effective.
