The Use of Audiovisual Learning Media in Improving PAI Learning Outcomes on Asmaul Husna Material in Grade VII of SMPN 3 Kualuh Leidong

Abstract

Abstract: The low interest and learning outcomes of students in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning, particularly in the Asmaul Husna material, are often caused by less varied teaching methods and the lack of engaging learning media. To address this issue, this study aims to analyze the effectiveness of using audiovisual learning media in improving students' learning outcomes in Grade VII at SMPN 3 Kualuh Leidong. Audiovisual media was chosen because it presents material in a more interactive, engaging, and easily understandable manner, thereby increasing students' attention and motivation in learning. This study employs a classroom action research (CAR) method with both quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were obtained through observations, learning outcome tests, and student response questionnaires. The results indicate that the implementation of audiovisual media positively impacts the improvement of students' learning outcomes. This improvement is evident from the increase in students' average scores from the first cycle to the subsequent cycles. Additionally, students demonstrated greater enthusiasm and motivation in the learning process. Thus, the use of audiovisual learning media has been proven effective in enhancing students' learning outcomes in PAI subjects, particularly in the Asmaul Husna material. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a reference for educators in developing more innovative and engaging learning strategies.
