Abstract

Learning models are conceptual frameworks containing systematic procedures used to design, implement, and evaluate instructional processes. This study examines the implementation of the Active Learning model in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) at SMP Plus Fityani Pujon, focusing on three main issues: the implementation process, supporting and inhibiting factors in increasing students’ learning motivation, and students’ learning outcomes after the model was applied. The research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive case study approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that the Active Learning model has been implemented in PAI learning activities through discussion, questioning, presentations, and student participation-centered strategies. Supporting factors include adequate school facilities, teacher readiness, and institutional support, while inhibiting factors involve limited learning time, students’ fatigue, and varying student characteristics. The implementation of Active Learning positively influenced students’ engagement, learning motivation, confidence, and comprehension of PAI materials. Overall, the study indicates that Active Learning is an effective instructional model for improving motivation and learning outcomes in Islamic Religious Education.
