Abstract

Classroom Action Research in Islamic Education for Grade VII at SMP Negeri 3 Sibolga, North Sumatra Province. The purpose of this study is to describe the improvement in learning achievement through the use of interactive video media in Islamic Education (PAI) for Grade 7 A students at SMP Negeri 3 Sibolga, North Sumatra Province. The method used in this research is the Classroom Action Research (CAR) method. This method is conducted in four stages: planning, action, observation, and reflection. These four stages are carried out within a cycle that is repeated with the same steps, focused on solving problems by discovering, investigating, and seeking information independently. The results of this study indicate that student achievement improved with the use of interactive video in learning. This improvement can be seen from the results of each cycle conducted. The results in the pre-cycle or initial data before using interactive video in the learning process show that only a few students achieved very good results. Based on the grade records, there was an increase in the average score of Grade VII A students at SMP Negeri 3 Sibolga on the topic of performing *Sholat Jama'*. In the pre-cycle, the average score of Grade VII A was 59.54%, while in Cycle I, the average score increased to 69.90%, falling into the "poor" category. Students who met the minimum passing criteria (KKM) were 63.63% (14 students), while 36.36% (8 students) did not meet the criteria. Thus, reflection was necessary before moving to Cycle II. Based on the grade records in Cycle II, there was a further increase in the average score of Grade VII A students on the topic of performing *Sholat Jama' Qasar*. In the pre-cycle, the average score of Grade VII A was 69.90%, while in Cycle II, the average score increased to 95.45%, classified as "very good." Students who met the KKM criteria increased to 95.45% (21 students), while only 4.55% (1 student) had not met the criteria.
