Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the singing method (joyful learning) to improve the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students in the Islamic Religious Education subject, particularly on the topic of faith in Prophets and Messengers, at SD Negeri 0307 Siundol Jae. The joyful learning method was chosen because it can create a pleasant, interactive learning atmosphere and attract students' attention, making the learning process more effective. This research uses a quantitative approach with an experimental design, involving fourth-grade students as research subjects. Data were collected through student learning outcome tests before and after the implementation of the singing method, as well as observations of student activities during the learning process. The results of the study show that the implementation of the singing method positively affects the improvement of students' learning outcomes. Students became more enthusiastic and motivated in learning the topic of faith in Prophets and Messengers, as evidenced by increased test scores and higher student participation in lessons. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the joyful learning method can be an effective alternative in improving students' learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education. This study also suggests the application of similar methods in other subjects to enhance the quality of learning in elementary schools.
