Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to improve the learning outcomes of grade V students of SD Negeri 0909 Huristak on zakat material by using the Problem Based Learning (PBL) learning model. The PBL model was chosen because it encourages students to think critically, be active in problem solving, and improve their understanding of concepts through direct involvement in learning. The research method used is classroom action research (PTK) which is carried out in two cycles. Each cycle consists of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subject of this study is a student of grade V of SD Negeri 0909 Huristak for the 2024 school year. Data was collected through learning outcome tests, observation of student activities, and interviews with teachers. The data analysis technique uses the percentage of completeness of learning outcomes and descriptive analysis. The results of the study show that the application of the Problem Based Learning model is able to significantly improve student learning outcomes. In cycle I, the percentage of student learning completeness reached 65%, while in cycle II it increased to 85%. In addition, there is an increase in student participation in the learning process, where they are more active in discussing, asking questions, and solving given problems. Thus, it can be concluded that the application of the Problem Based Learning model is effective in improving student learning outcomes in zakat material. This model can be used as an alternative in learning to improve students' understanding of concepts and critical thinking skills.
