Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model in improving students' academic achievement in Islamic Religious Education and Character Education, particularly on the topic of Avoiding Alcoholic Beverages, Gambling, and Fighting among eighth-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Pematang Bandar in the 2021/2022 academic year. The research method used is classroom action research (CAR) with qualitative and quantitative approaches. The subjects of this study were eighth-grade students who faced difficulties in understanding the material through conventional teaching methods. The results of the study show that the application of PBL can enhance students' engagement in the learning process, deepen conceptual understanding, and improve learning outcomes compared to conventional methods. The PBL model encourages students to think critically, collaborate in group discussions, and find solutions to given problems. Additionally, this approach helps students understand the negative impacts of alcoholic beverages, gambling, and fighting in daily life, making them more aware of the importance of avoiding such behaviors. In conclusion, the PBL model has proven to be effective in improving academic achievement and shaping students' character in accordance with the values of Islamic Religious Education and Character Education. Therefore, the implementation of PBL can be an alternative strategy for teachers in delivering similar materials to make learning more engaging, interactive, and meaningful for students.
