Differentiated learning is a teaching strategy that adjusts methods, materials, and evaluations to the needs, interests, and abilities of students. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the application of differentiated learning in improving student learning outcomes on the material of Faith in the Books of Allah SWT at SMK Negeri 1 Bandar Masilam. The research method used is classroom action research (PTK) with a cycle model consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data collection was carried out through learning outcome tests, observations, and interviews to measure the improvement of student understanding. The results of the study show that the application of differentiated learning is able to significantly improve students' understanding of concepts and learning outcomes. Students become more active in the learning process, more confident in expressing their opinions, and easier to understand the material according to their learning style. In addition, this approach also creates a more interactive and fun classroom atmosphere. Thus, differentiated learning can be an effective solution in improving the quality of learning, especially in faith materials. It is hoped that this strategy can continue to be developed and applied in learning to improve student learning outcomes optimally.References
