Enhancing Learning Outcomes on Surah Al-Ma’un through the Implementation of the Make-a-Match Method among Fifth Grade Students at SDN 5 Karangrau Banyumas

Abstract

The low learning outcomes of students in the subject matter of Surah Al-Ma’un in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) indicate the need for more active and enjoyable learning strategies. This study aims to improve students' learning outcomes on Surah Al-Ma’un through the implementation of the active learning strategy Make a Match in Grade V students of SDN 5 Karangrau. The research method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles, each consisting of planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. Data were collected through observation, documentation, and learning outcome tests, and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that the Make a Match strategy significantly improved students' learning outcomes. Before the treatment, the mastery level was only 36%, increasing to 68% in Cycle I, and reaching 88% in Cycle II. These findings indicate that the Make a Match strategy enhances students' engagement in the learning process and their understanding of the content and meaning of Surah Al-Ma’un. Thus, the Make a Match strategy is effective in improving PAI learning outcomes and is recommended for similar material in elementary education.
