The Implementation of a Problem-Based Learning Model to Improve the Ability to Perform Wudu Practices Using Practical Methods for Religious Education Students in Grade II at SDN NO 101005 Galanggang.

Abstract

This research explores the implementation of a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model to improve the ability of Grade II students at SDN NO 101005 Galanggang in performing Wudu (ablution) through practical methods in religious education classes. The study aims to enhance students' understanding and application of proper Wudu practices, an essential part of Islamic rituals. By using a hands-on approach, the PBL model engages students in real-life problem-solving scenarios, allowing them to actively participate and practice Wudu directly in class. The findings indicate that the PBL model significantly improves students' comprehension and ability to perform Wudu correctly. Observations and assessments show an increased level of student engagement and a more thorough understanding of the steps involved in Wudu after applying this method. The practical approach not only helps students grasp the theoretical concepts of ablution but also boosts their confidence in executing the practice. This research concludes that Problem-Based Learning, when combined with practical methods, is an effective instructional strategy for improving students' skills in performing religious practices, particularly in enhancing their ability to carry out Wudu in accordance with Islamic guidelines.
