Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to improve student learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) subjects in Asmaul Husna material through the application of the Make A Match method in grade IV of SD Negeri 091667 Naga Bayu. The Make A Match method is a cooperative learning technique that involves matching cards containing questions and answers, thereby encouraging active involvement of students in the learning process. This study uses a classroom action approach (PTK) with two cycles involving planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The subject of this study is a fourth grade student of SD Negeri 091667 Naga Bayu. Data was collected through learning outcome tests, observations, and interviews. The results of the study show that the application of the Make A Match method significantly improves student learning outcomes. In the first cycle, the average score of students increased compared to before the action, and in the second cycle there was a more significant increase. In addition, this method also increases active participation and student learning motivation. Thus, it can be concluded that the Make A Match method is effective in improving student learning outcomes in Asmaul Husna material in PAI subjects. Therefore, this method can be used as an alternative learning strategy for teachers in teaching religious concepts that require understanding and memorization.
