The Implementation of the Explicit Instruction Learning Model to Improve Learning Outcomes in Islamic Religious Education on the Harmony Between Movements and Recitations in Prayer Among Third-Grade Students at SD Negeri 091713 Amborokan in the 2024/2025 Academic Year

Abstract

This study aims to improve learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) on the topic of harmony between prayer movements and recitations through the implementation of the Explicit Instruction learning model in Grade III at SD Negeri 091713 Amborokan for the 2024/2025 academic year. This learning model emphasizes direct, systematic, and gradual guidance, making it easier for students to understand the material and correctly practice religious rituals. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR), consisting of two cycles, each including planning, implementation, observation, and reflection stages. Data were collected through learning outcome tests, observations, and interviews, then analyzed using quantitative descriptive analysis to measure improvements in students' understanding and skills. The research findings indicate that implementing the Explicit Instruction model has a positive impact on students' learning outcomes. This is evident from the increase in the average evaluation scores in each cycle, demonstrating an improvement in students' conceptual understanding and skills in harmonizing prayer movements and recitations. Additionally, students became more confident in performing religious practices. Thus, the Explicit Instruction model can be considered an effective alternative for enhancing learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education, particularly in subjects related to religious practices. This model also has the potential to be applied to other learning areas that require procedural understanding and practical skills.
