Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the use of storytelling-based learning methods in improving students' understanding of angel names in grade 4 of SD Negeri 106841 Pematang Pulau. The storytelling method was chosen because it can make the learning material more interesting, easy to understand, and easy to remember by students. This study uses a qualitative approach with a classroom action research design (PTK). The subjects of this study are 15 4th grade elementary school students, consisting of 10 male students and 5 female students. The learning process is carried out by telling stories related to the duties and roles of each angel, so that students can associate the names of angels with the stories that accompany them. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and comprehension tests after learning took place. The results of the study show that the storytelling method has succeeded in improving students' understanding of angel names. Students show significant improvement in material comprehension, both in terms of recognizing angel names and their roles. Overall, the use of the storytelling method has proven to be effective in increasing student engagement, making learning more enjoyable, and making it easier for students to remember information. This study suggests that the storytelling method can be used more widely in learning religious materials and other subjects in elementary schools.
