Abstract

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the use of the reinforcement method in increasing the motivation and learning achievement of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) on the subject matter of habituating commendable behavior in SD IT Roudhotul Ilmi Anshor. The reinforcement method was chosen because it can provide positive encouragement to students through rewards given for desired behaviors, so that it can motivate them to be more active and excel in learning. The main focus of this study is to see the extent to which the application of the reinforcement method can affect the development of student behavior and the achievement of PAI learning outcomes. The research method used in this study is quantitative with an experimental approach, which involves students of certain classes who are treated using reinforcement techniques. Data was collected through observations, questionnaires, and tests to measure the level of motivation and learning achievement of students before and after the application of the method. The results of the study showed a significant increase in students' learning motivation, reflected in their active participation in each learning session as well as an increase in academic achievement which can be seen from better test results after the use of the reinforcement method. The conclusion of this study is that the application of the reinforcement method can increase student motivation and learning achievement, especially in the subject matter of habituating commendable behavior. This shows that by providing positive reinforcement, students are more motivated to implement good behavior and achieve more optimal learning outcomes. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of more effective learning methods in Islamic religious education at the elementary school level.
